Clay Patrick McBrideBob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band‘s 2017 Runaway Train Tour gets rolling tonight in Toledo, Ohio.
After announcing initial dates in June, the Michigan rocker and his longtime backing group have added a bunch of new shows, and the trek is now mapped out through a November 4 concert in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, California.
Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson‘s new band, Roadcase Royale, will open for Seger from a September 12 show in Rochester, New York, through the November 4 gig. Meanwhile, Grand Funk Railroad, whose drummer, Don Brewer, also plays in the Silver Bullet Band, will support Bob at a September 2 concert in Indianapolis.
The other acts opening select dates will be folk-rockers Larkin Poe and rising hard-rock group Greta Van Sleet. More dates are expected to be announced soon.
Seger and the Silver Bullet Band haven’t performed live since their tour in support of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s most recent studio album, Ride On, wrapped in March 2015.
