Re: We Need Alpine Valley in 2023

This Alpine fan is sad, but I'm skeptical if the Sunmerfest show will happen on 7/6. Also, as a Chicagoian, getting up to Milwaukee on a Thursday will he rough! Yeah, not loving a Thursday show. Could make for a fun LONG weekend with the Cubs in town, but with this late notice that’s tough to sched...

I’ve not been to Summerfest before. Assuming he’s feeling good to go on July 6th, is it a venue/experience worth grabbing tickets? I know nothing will match the tailgating experience at Alpine.

Re: We Need Alpine Valley in 2023

Lots of rumours but no real information on any upcoming shows. The silence has me worried that he’s dialing it back this summer or taking the year off. Then again, he hasn’t said he’s NOT touring, so here we patiently wait. It’d be a little disappointing if he didn’t come to Alpine (especially afte...

A month ago you were saying Wrigley confirmed, now it’s Northerly. Consider me a bit of a skeptic.

Re: Alpine Reopening

I went to Wrigley last year and had a pretty good time. I hadn’t had the opportunity to see him there in 2005. Jimmy is a Cubs fan and getting to see him there after the Cubs won the Series was a fun experience. I missed the tailgating, but also enjoyed the show. Beers are expensive at both location...

Already planning on getting my tickets and hotel room. It's not Alpine, but after the WS win Wrigley should be buzzing!

Re: Wrigley 2017

That's true regarding the setup and take down on Memorial Day. It would be pretty difficult. I suppose that's just wishful thinking on my part. I'd love both an Alpine and Wrigley show. Who knows what will happen though. In 2005 he didn't do Alpine after Wrigley, but Ricketts is the Cubs owner now a...

Re: Wrigley 2017

Wonder if he might try a Memorial Day weekend show. Cubs are away and it's a three day weekend so he could fit in two shows. The only issue is it's earlier in the year, but I think it'd be warm enough by late May (hopefully). It would also put a sizable gap between then and September, so maybe, just...

Make it happen. Alpine is always the best. The folks and I stayed in Lake Geneva last year and took a party bus up. Coming back there was just as wild. I know there are a handful of after parties though

That it does! Do you think he's playing a solo show this year? Or will he have an opening act again? Can't wait for Labor Day weekend!

Re: Alpine Valley 2016

Smart logic.....September 3rd is more realistic! Smart logic is good logic. Can also say one of the guys involved with the Shake on the Lake said they were "maybe" separating from the Alpine show this year. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to a Labor Day weekend show. Looking into a w...

Re: Alpine Valley 2016

Jimmy doesn't have any shows planned in July, and I really doubt he would do a 'one off' at Alpine. Sept 3 seems much more likely, as it comes right off the Sept 1 date in Omaha Agreed. Why would Buffett take off all of July and the first half of August and then put one show in the middle? Doesn't ...

Re: Alpine Valley 2016

This is great news! It'll be so nice having that long weekend too. I have a feeling it'll be an extra wild year at Alpine. Any one care to venture a guess as to who his opening act will be this year? I know he's doing some shows with Huey Lewis again, but he's mixing in a few other artists as well. ...

Re: Alpine Valley 2016

I am confident that you can put in Saturday Sept 3rd.....from what I have learned. Is that just speculation or have you heard something? September 3rd has been my guess, but that's just a guess. August 13th is open, but I'm not sure he would start a fall leg at Alpine, go to New England, and then h...

Re: Alpine Valley 2016

Alpine has done 7 shows before. I know they're trying to get more concerts in there, as they should. It's a great venue. I know they've booked everything in June and July so far, but I'm not sure that means Jimmy will be there then. Why group all your concerts into one month? I'd be okay with a July...

Re: Alpine Valley 2016

Looks like it's Tinley on the 25th. I've seen a few people posting the full size ad in the back of the paper. Labor Day weekend show looks more and more likely unless he completely surprises us with an early August or July date

Re: Alpine Valley 2016

I was so sure it was going to be 8/27... Now I have no clue. He tends to do Alpine after Camden, so I guess 9/3 is still possible, but that does seem late. 8/13 is open still. Maybe he'll skip Chicago though and do Alpine 6/25 after he swings through Indiana.
