Lynard Skynyrd Returns to the 2022 California Mid-State Fair; Tickets On-Sale Friday, June 3 at 10:00 AM

(PASO ROBLES, CA) – The California Mid-State Fair is pleased to announce that Lynyrd

Skynyrd has been confirmed to perform in concert on Tuesday, July 26 at 7:30 pm. The concert

will take place in the Chumash Grandstand Arena at the Paso Robles Event Center. The band

last performed at the Fair in 2019.

Ticket prices for the show are $30, $40, $50, $85 and $100 (Pit/Standing) and will go on

sale Friday, June 3, 2022, starting at 10:00 am online only at www.MidStateFair.com.

In 2018, Southern Rock icons, Lynyrd Skynyrd, announced that, after a career that has

spanned more than 40 years and includes a catalog of more than 60 albums with more than 30

million units sold, they would embark on their Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour. In

2019 Johnny Van Zant, Gary Rossington, and Rickey Medlocke sat down with Dan

Rather for a candid conversation on The Big Interview during the first leg of their farewell tour.

Reflecting on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s enduring legacy and their fans around the world, Rossington told

Rather, “It takes a long time to finish a farewell tour when you’re like us, ‘cause we’ve played

everywhere... I keep jokin’ it’d take ten years to do the farewell tour.” However, like many things

since COVID hit in 2020, their Farewell tour was put on pause.

Original member and guitarist Gary Rossington added, ‘you know, we were in the last part of the

Farewell Tour when COVID turned our world upside down. And since that time, we have been

talking amongst the band, and realized that music has such a way of healing. Maybe it’s not our

time to go? And maybe it’s our time to lift people’s spirits and lives and bring back some joy and

happiness after so much turmoil.”

The legendary rockers are best known for the RIAA Platinum-certified “Sweet Home Alabama”

and self-proclaimed signature song, “Free Bird,” that Rolling Stone said was “easily the most

requested live song in existence.” With everlasting hits such as “Simple Man,” “Gimme Three

Steps,” “What’s Your Name,” “Call Me The Breeze,” “You Got that Right,” and more, it is easy to

see why Rolling Stone named Lynyrd Skynyrd one of its 100 Greatest Bands of All Time.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band that USA Today called the “whiskey-soaked genre's most popular and

influential crew,” is ready to return to live music. Original member Gary Rossington will be joined

by Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith

Christopher, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington, and Carol Chase.

The 2022 California Mid-State Fair runs July 20 through July 31 and this year’s theme is “Full

Steam Ahead!” Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
