Zac Brown Band Will Join Rolling Stones For Jacksonville Concert

Provided by The Jacksonville Jaguars
The Rolling Stones

Does a 1960s rock-n-roll band at the forefront of the British invasion mix with a modern day country and southern rock music sensation? In a word: yes.

The Rolling Stones announced Wednesday that theZac Brown Band will be joining the "World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band"  from London in Jacksonville for the Stones concert April 24 at TIAA Bank Field.

The Stones are bringing their No Filter tour to 15 U.S. cities across North America this year.

The Zac Brown Band will be playing at least twice this year in Jacksonville. The Grammy-Award winning band,  led by front man Zac Brown, will also be bringing their The Owl tour to Jacksonville on October 17 at Daily's Place.
