Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band will perform at what is perhaps the unlikeliest of venues: a Fort Worth drive-in movie theater. Buffett's camp announced a June 19 show called "Live at the Drive-in," taking place at the Coyote Drive-in on Panther Island in Fort Worth.

Making it even more exceptional is the fact that the show will be simultaneously broadcast to drive-ins across the country, from Lakeport Auto Movies in Paradise, California, to Mendon Twin Drive-In in Mendon, Massachusetts.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Buffett is the inaugural musician in a series conceived by Coyote Drive-in owner-operators Brady Wood and Brandt Wood (via their company Woodhouse), in partnership with Austin-based C3 Presents. As one-time owners of Trees in Deep Ellum, the Wood brothers have a background in booking bands.

The concert will be a regular show, and ut will be in addition to a Buffett appearance already scheduled for June 21 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco. Buffett is touring to support his 2013 album Songs from St. Somewhere.

A crew will film the show to be broadcast live via DirecTV. This is sure to be a hot ticket, as Coyote Drive-in only holds about 1,300 cars.

Tickets for the Coyote Drive-in concert go on sale May 2 at 10 am, via Buffett’s website. Unfortunately, you won't be able to just pack your car for one flat price, as tickets will be $125 per person. Simulcast tickets at other drive-ins nationwide, a full list of which will be announced Friday, will only be $18.

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner double up on '26 tour with stop in Dallas

Foreigner will co-headline a tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd that will stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on August 28, 2026.

Classic rock bands Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner will join forces for the 2026 co-headlining Double Trouble Double Vision Tour, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Friday, August 28.

The 19-city tour will take place over the course of just over a month in July and August, starting in Atlanta, Georgia on July 23 and ending in Rogers, Arkansas on August 29.

In addition to Dallas, the two bands will also play in Houston suburb The Woodlands on August 27. Six Gun Sally will serve as the opening act on all dates.

Lynyrd Skynyrd has as checkered a history as any American band, releasing five albums in five years in the 1970s before lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and others were killed in a 1977 plane crash.

The band reformed in 1987 with Van Zant's brother Johnny taking over as lead singer. They went on release nine more albums, with their most recent release being Last of a Dyin' Breed in 2012.

Foreigner was one of the more popular rock bands in the late 1970s and early 1980s, releasing five top 5 albums in a row on the strength of hit songs like "Feels Like the First Time," "Cold as Ice," and "Double Vision."

That last song appears to have inspired the tour title, as it's been mashed up with Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1976 song "Double Trouble."

The artist pre-sale for the tour begins on Tuesday, November 18 at 12 pm. The general on-sale goes live on Friday, November 21 at 10 am at both foreigneronline.com/tour or lynyrdskynyrd.com.
