The Southern rockers of Skynyrd released Last of a Dyin’ Breed, their best selling album in 35 years, in 2012, so fans can expect to hear some of their newer stuff mixed in with classics like “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird.” Yes, this is the one show where it is appropriate to scream “Free Bird” at the band.

Frampton will be playing music from throughout his 50-year career and will likely share some arrangements from his most recent album, Acoustic Classics, which dropped in February.
