Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, according to a post on social media.
Buffett, whose career spanned more than five decades, built a devoted following through songs that celebrated coastal living, escapism and a carefree lifestyle.
His 1977 hit ‘Margaritaville’ became his most recognizable song and later inspired a business empire that included restaurants, resorts and merchandise.
Buffett died Sept. 1, 2023, at age 76 after a four year battle with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer.
Since his death, members of the Coral Reefer Band have continued performing to keep Buffett’s music alive for fans known as ‘Parrotheads.’
Concerts typically feature many of Buffett’s best known songs, along with the beach themed atmosphere that defined his shows for decades.
The upcoming tour begins July 9 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and includes stops across the country in cities such as Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Indianapolis.
Texas will host three tour dates, including Austin on July 23, the Houston area on July 24 and Fort Worth on July 25.
