Bad Company has announced the complete itinerary for the band's U.S. summer tour.
Celebrating their 40th anniversary since forming, the excursion begins on June 15 in Rancho Mirage, CA and ends Aug. 3.
Original members Paul Rodgers (vocals), Mick Ralphs (guitar) and Simon Kirke (drums) will be joined by guitarist Howard Leese and bassist Todd Ronning from Rodgers' solo band.
Bad Company has inspired many of today's musicians. Metal band Five Finger Death Punch who scored a #1 Active Rock hit with a cover of the song "Bad Company." Since 2001, the band has only played 11 isolated performances, and has not staged a tour of the United States and Canada until now.
On 13 of the upcoming dates, Bad Company will co-headline with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Paul Rodgers recently shared, "The Skynyrds and I go back to the 70's and the days and nights at the Hyatt House on Sunset in LA aka the Riot House. In the 90's the band introduced me to my wife Cynthia, and that's why I am so damned happy and healthy these years.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's Johnny Van Zant offered, "Every member of Skynyrd has been fans of Bad Company from the get go. Personally, Paul is one of my favorite rock singers. We have a deep appreciation for Bad Company’s music and look forward to being on the road with them and sharing the stage.”
DiscLive Network (www.disclivenetwork.com) has partnered with Bad Company. Recordings of all appearances where available will be released to fans the evening of the appearance so that they have the opportunity to walk out of the show with the concert they just attended.
