What a great show that&#8217;s going to be! Two rock and roll bands that have done lots of shows together over the years. \u00a0We haven&#8217;t worked together for a while but we plan on having a really good time! Both bands come from the same era of rock and roll, \u00a0and still going strong after 50 or 60 years of being on the road is a fucking miracle! \u00a0I&#8217;m really looking forward to it and so should you! We just keep on rockin&#8217;! \u00a0See you out there!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pete Agnew\/Nazareth<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8220;We&#8217;ve shared stages with a lot of great bands over the years, but teaming up with Foghat is something special,&#8221; says Pete Agnew Nazareth bassist. &#8220;They&#8217;ve got that same raw, no-nonsense rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll spirit we&#8217;ve always believed in. Night after night, it&#8217;s going to be a celebration of the music that brought us all here-loud, proud, and straight from the heart. Fans are in for one hell of a ride.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FOGHAT &#8211; Formed in 1971 when Lonesome Dave Peverett and Roger Earl left Savoy Brown, Foghat built their legacy on a high-energy blend of blues, boogie, and no-nonsense rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. With eight Gold records, along with Platinum and double-Platinum success, their music has stood the test of time while never losing its edge. Today, the band continues to tour and record, and their momentum hasn\u2019t slowed\u2014proven by their 2023 album\u00a0<em>Sonic Mojo<\/em>, which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and remained in the Top 10 for an incredible 34 weeks. Though they\u2019ve faced the loss of members including Lonesome Dave Peverett, Rod Price, and Craig MacGregor, founding drummer Roger Earl still leads the charge, keeping Foghat\u2019s signature sound alive and louder than ever with bandmates that are just having a great time playing rock n\u2019 roll music! \u00a0And the fans are loving it!!<\/p>\n<p>NAZARETH &#8211; Hailing from Dunfermline, Scotland and formed in 1968, Nazareth rose to global prominence in the 1970s with a sound that was both gritty and deeply melodic. With iconic hits like \u201cLove Hurts,\u201d \u201cHair of the Dog,\u201d and \u201cThis Flight\u00a0Tonight, Nazareth became a staple of classic rock radio and a major influence on generations of rock and metal artists. Decades into their career, the band continues to tour worldwide, delivering powerful live performances that celebrate their rich legacy while proving their music remains as vital and electrifying as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Together, Foghat and Nazareth deliver a live experience steeped in history, energy, and authenticity. Decades into their careers, both bands continue to tour the world, proving night after night that real rock \u2018n\u2019 roll doesn\u2019t fade\u2014it evolves, endures, and still knows how to shake the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the tour itinerary below.<br \/>\nDATE &#8211; CITY<br \/>\nApril 30 &#8211; Duluth, MN<br \/>\nMay 2 &#8211; St. Charles, MO<br \/>\nMay 6 &#8211; Akron, OH<br \/>\nMay 8 &#8211; Welch, MN<br \/>\nMay 9 &#8211; Rockford, IL<br \/>\nMay 14 &#8211; St. Petersburg, FL<br \/>\nMay 15 &#8211; Mt.
