Bob Seger Tour

Classic rock icon Bob Seger announced on Sept. 25 his intentions to return to stages around North America for a winter 2014-15 tour. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is expected to complete two legs during the venture, which will be split with a break around Christmastime. The upcoming tour will be Seger’s most detailed excursion since 2007.

The first leg of the Bob Seger tour will include just over a dozen concerts spread across November and December. A native of Michigan, Seger plans to launch the trek in his home state from the Dow Event Center in Saginaw on Nov. 19. Full dates for the first leg are detailed below. Although venues have not yet been finalized for the 2015 leg, Seger has announced he’ll be on the road from at least Jan. 22-Feb. 27 with stops in cities like Toronto (Jan. 24), Dallas (Feb. 12), and Phoenix (Feb. 19), among others.

 

The Bob Seger tour in 2015 is set to follow the October release of Ride Out, which will be Seger’s first studio album in almost a decade. (It’s the follow-up to 2006’s Platinum-certified Face the Promise.) Although Ride Out won’t be available to fans until Oct. 14, the album’s lead single, the John Hiatt-penned “Detroit Made,” dropped in August. Seger has been performing the track live for a while--it was first introduced to his set list during a brief 2013 tour.

 

In addition to the lead single that pays homage to Seger’s home state, Ride Out will feature a number of additional cover songs, including one from GRAMMY winner Steve Earle. The album will also feature Seger’s cover of “California Stars,” a song with lyrics by Woody Guthrie and music composed after Guthrie’s death by Wilco members Jeff Tweedy and Jay Barnett. Six original songs, including the record’s second single, “You Take Me In,” will also be featured on the forthcoming album.
