MACON, Ga. — Another event is booked for the Macon Amphitheatre next year, according to a press release.
Classic rock giants Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top announced a stop in Macon on March 24, 2024. It is all a part of The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour.
Black Stone Cherry is set to open the concert.
The artist pre-sale begins on Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. and will be available until 10 p.m. on Nov. 2.
The public sale begins on Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. For select VIP packages, you can check out their website.
This is the second artist to announce a date at the Macon Amphitheater. Last month, county music star Riley Green announced his stop in Macon.
Riley Green will be bringing his 'Ain't My Last Rodeo' tour to the new facility on April 4, 2024. It is not scheduled to be the first show at the amphitheater but it is the first show that has been booked there.
Riley Green has visited Macon before and played at the Capitol Theatre early on in his career. He is returning with special guests Tracy Lawrence and Ella Langley for his performance at the amphitheater.
Green has several hits, including "There Was This Girl", "I Wish Grandpas Never Died", "Georgia Time", and more. He was awarded the New Male Artist of the Year Award by the Academy of Country Music in 2019.
Work started last year on the amphitheater. So far crunching gravel, steel bars and concrete are most of what you'll see and hear at the amphitheater. But soon music will fill the air and now we know at least one artist that will be playing at the new location.
The plans include a 10,000-seat outdoor facility with concessions, retail shops, and VIP suites. The hope is the house will be packed for 12,000 people.
Macon Mayor Lester Miller says the amphitheater will be 'state of the art' in design and technology. If you want to beat the concessions line, they plan to have an app where you can order your food and pick it up later. They'll also have a full kitchen large enough for the massive crowds they expect.
