It just wouldn't be an outdoor-music season without them: Allman Brothers are coming back to Raleigh's big outdoor shed on Oct. 11, in what might turn out to be the final show of the season. That will extend the venerable Southern rock icons' streak to 19 straight years playing Walnut Creek, as the only act to play there every year since it opened in 1991. And if you were wondering why Widespread Panic isn't playing its usual weekend stand at Walnut Creek next month, it's because they're on the Allman Brothers bill as opening act.
Tickets go on sale Friday.

Their aren't any venues of size between here and Portsmouth Virginia(7,000 capacity total) and both bands have nothing *YET* scheduled for that Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I imagine if sales #'s in the pre-sales (which start today) are good enough for the promoters(JiveNation) then they will be adding another show in Portsmouth. I really (even with WSP) don't see them selling well at 2 shows in both Raleigh AND Charlotte. But we shall see . . . Stranger things have happened . . .
Too bad the Allmans don't open...
