It’s time to get your fins out.

Legendary tropical rocker Jimmy Buffett is returning to venues all over North America to entertain Parrotheads from coast to coast from March through May this year on his ‘Second Wind Tour.’

And you wouldn’t believe it but we found some tickets to the “Cheeseburger In Paradise” crooner going for as low as $12 before fees on Vivid Seats.

That’s cheaper than a cold one at a concert.

Heck, while we’re at it, it’s probably less than what it costs to grab a margarita at one of Buffett’s Margaritavilles.

(Editor’s note: It is. The ‘Uptown Top Shelf Margarita’ at the Times Square Margaritaville costs $14.75 ).

It really is “Five O’ Clock Somewhere.”

So, if you want to make the pilgrimage to catch one of music’s most durable stars live this year, here’s everything you need to know.

Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946) is an American ‘gulf and western’, rock, surf, and country singer, songwriter, business man, and author, hailing from Pascagoula, Mississippi, U.S.

Having started his musical life playing the trombone in his high school band, Buffett moved on to play the guitar in his freshman year at Auburn University. With the release of his debut album “Down to Earth” in 1970, Buffet continued to grace the streets and beaches with his busking, honing his skills and developing the beach-bum persona he later became known for.

Jimmy Buffett’s second studio album “High Cumberland Jubilee” was lost by his label Barnaby, and didn’t appear until 1976. The singer-songwriter subsequently signed with ABC-Dunhill Records who issued the albums “White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean” in 1973, and the more thoughtful “Living and Dying in 3/4 Time” in 1974. However, it wasn’t until the 1977 album “Changes in Latitudes”, led by the Top Ten single “Margaritaville”, that Buffett truly became a household name for his tropically-themed soft rock.

By the mid-1980s, with dwindling chart sales but a devoted and prominent fan base dubbed the “Parrotheads”, Buffet would tour regularly, and later tried his hand club management and fiction writing. The live album “Feeding Frenzy” was issued in 1990, followed by the best-selling box set “Boats, Bars, and Ballads” in 1992. An album of original material “Fruitcakes” became one of Buffett’s fastest-selling albums, and paved the way for the almost-as-successful “Barometer Soup” in 1995 and “Banana Wind” in 1996.

Towards the end of the millennium having worked on a musical adaptation of the Herman Wouk novel “Don’t Stop the Carnival”, Buffet released “Beach House on the Moon” and “Live: Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday”. After creating his own label Mailboat and releasing a string of concert recordings, Buffet returned with new material, issuing “Far Side of the World” in 2002. The ever-popular musician went on to release the album “License to Chill” in 2004, “Take the Weather with You” in 2006, and “Buffett Hotel” in 2009.

Live reviews

Jimmy Buffett puts on an amazing show! From the second you get there you're surrounded by some of the most colorful people you'll ever see. Everybody brings their own bit of Margaritaville with them. Some first time attendees walk around bearing "Buffett Virgin" signs. From cars turned into boats, to homemade beaches, to bartenders throwing snowballs, to men in coconut bras, the parking lot party is best described as a drunken free-for-all fueled by tropical drinks. You will see things there that you will never see anywhere else. There is no party like a Jimmy Buffett tailgate party. Once inside, make sure to watch out for beach balls, because they will be flying everywhere. Once the concert starts, Buffett does not disappoint. The man is lively and exciting, jokes with the crowd, and obviously loves what he does. Only at one of his concerts will you ever see thousands of grown adults all pretending to be sharks for the song "Fins." Buffett's back-up, The Coral Reefer Band is fantastic. Nadirah in particular has an unbelievable voice, and the amazing steel drum playing will immediately bring you down to some far away island. Mr. Buffett keeps the setlist interesting with a mix of old favorites ("Cheeseburger in Paradise" in particular brings a huge response from the crowd) new songs, and even a few covers. His cover of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" is an old throwback, but Buffett has recently taken to performing Zac Brown Band's "Free." This song especially is a feel-good, magical one. In short, a Jimmy Buffett concert is one of the best, most unbelievable experiences a person can have, and makes for a night you'll never forget. Fins up!

Jimmy Buffett July 8, 2017, Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE

This was Buffet's 50th show at Riverbend. I've been to 25 of them by my count. My fiscal year begins and ends with the Jimmy Buffett show in Cincinnati. This year was the exception to the rule and it really had nothing to do with Jimmy Buffett. Riverbend allowed so many tailgaters in who had no tickets or intention of going to the show, That when actual ticket holders started showing up at 6 PM, there was no place for us to park. So Riverbend had no choice but to just let us sit on the bridge. From the time we arrived and could actually see the Riverbend, it took us three hours to get in and finally find a parking spot. But then they didn't even have personnel out there trying to help concert goers get in and get parked. They had abandoned everyone. Drivers were left to unload all of the passengers and continue on in the motionless parking line. Always thought I would go to Jimmy Buffett shows until he quit touring, But after this, I will not be attending another Jimmy Buffett show at Riverband ever again. I pay too much money to miss half the show. If he tours next year, I will check him out somewhere that has a better grasp on their parking situation.

Veteran country rocker Jimmy Buffett still has the ability to transport audiences to his private paradise island with his surf style music. Well into his 60s, the star knows the influence that his easy listening music has had on people's lives and the crowd is made up of original fans as well as new coverts who may have been brought up listening to Buffett's music.

Jimmy is completely at ease onstage and performs with a huge smile on his face throughout the show. The audience's enthusiasm spurs him on as they sing, cheer and applaud throughout. There are roars of approval for fan favourites including 'Come Monday' and 'Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes'. The musician still has an impressive amount of skill with his guitar and his supporting band are also incredibly well trained.

The set is only punctuated by Jimmy himself conversing with his crowds with stories and meanings of songs. He has of course been touring for over four decades so he knows how to tease the crowd before he allows his band to begin the introduction to 'Margaritaville'. This is a wonderfully inclusive conclusion to a thoroughly enjoyable trip to Buffet's paradise.

I first saw Jimmy Buffet back in 1993. I was 14 years old and it made a huge impression on me at that age.

Back then the parrot heads were much younger, wilder, and drunker. It was like a mini mardie gras and it was tons of fun. I saw him again this year and their was a huge crowd but the parrot heads were older and more toned down. It still had all of the same kinds of things but just more toned down. You didn’t see as many flashing women or really drunk people. But the music was still great.

He did all of his hits, the same ones he has been doing for almost 4 decades. He sounded great and he did show some age. He played for more than two hours and ended with a cover song of “Brown Eyed Girl”. His band sounded great and they were really tight.

He continues to attract tons of people to his shows and does not have any problem selling out shows every summer. It is really amazing that he can still do that considering he has not had any new hit songs in more than 20 years. But the old shows of the 1980’s and 1990’s are missed.

Great Show Saturday Night in Cigal in Paris, amazing athmosphere, Jimmy with his 14 piece Talented band Nailed it firmy to the mast with a great seletion of old and new songs including a great solo to end the night well worth the trip, Paris,sunny weekend,Parrotheads how could you not love it cant wait until next year, Gerry

the concert was absolutely awesome. the venue was good as well. Jimmy Buffett still can keep people on their feet and involved in the shows!! I would go again. The crew members for the venue were very organized and knowledgeable of the facility. We got in to our seats without a problem. It was good that there were plenty of restrooms on all floors.

Found out Jimmy was to be in concert on Maui 3 days after we were supposed to leave. Sacrificed my plane ticket, booked more hotel nights and got close-up seats. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

Got home to find he was playing in Seattle! Booked tickets for 4 and had the time of our lives! Two Buffett concerts in a month? A dream come true! Come back, Jimmy!!!

I have wanted to see Jimmy Buffett since I first heard him 38 years ago. And I finally got the change at La Cigale in Paris - Excellent venue and excellent seating. The concert was amazing. He has a certain style and attracts a certain crowd that can't help but project a feel-good factor. He is still rocking. See you next year Jimmy

Jimmy did an outstanding job in KC. He played many songs i had not heard at his concerts before. He did a duet with Carolina Jones Trip Around the Sun which is one of my favorites. He filled the house and the Parrotheads were rocking. Jommy never fails to play the standards everyone knows & loves. Just glad he is still touring!

Needs to spend more time on the show songlist......wouldn't say anything but I care and I enjoy his music.....

Maybe work on a new material album ....during the show an instrumental version of king of somewhere hot was played and a 4 man jam .....hit that area more.....sincerely big fan

Lifetime Jimmy “Bubba” fan now living in key west, how on earth do I find the presale code?

Looking for the same thing, anyone have any ideas? I see the pre sale code for Hollywood Casino concert

The key to the presale is to work for one of the companies that will scalp the tickets to true fans. Ticketmaster or live nation has no interest or intent to stop this practice. The reason for this is the incredible mark up they make on tickets resold thru their websites. A little industry secret, could it be possible that the big ticket companies have employees that work as resale brokers? Just a simple question from a longtime fan.

Can you tailgate at Seminole Hard Rock? We have tix to show and want to do so.

No…plenty of bars inside

Paul McCartney Reveals He Sang 'Let It Be' for Jimmy Buffett in the 'Last Week of His Life'

"He still had that twinkle in his eye," The Beatles singer said of Buffett at Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett at the Hollywood Bowl on April 11

Paul McCartney is sharing a touching insight into the final weeks of his friend Jimmy Buffett ’s life. 

Speaking at a tribute concert to honor the late folk rock artist, who died at age 76 last September, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on April 11, McCartney, 81, recalled how he was invited to sing for Buffett at his home by his wife Jane Slagsvol . 

“Just in the last week of his life, I was invited up to his house by Janie,” McCartney said on stage at Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett ahead of his performance. “And I was invited up there to sing a couple of songs for Jimmy, and he was in a pretty bad way, but he still had that twinkle in his eye. So I thought I'll sing one of those songs that I sang to him tonight.”

McCartney then took to the piano to perform “Let It Be” with little accompaniment for the iconic musician.

The Beatles bassist/singer also shared a sweet anecdote about Buffett, whom he called “one great man," and a vacation the two took together.

“He was generous. He was funny. He'd done just about everything in his life,” said McCartney. “And I say he was so generous. I was on holiday with him and I forgot to bring my guitar. So he had his own guitar strung left-handed for me … And then the next time I saw him, he'd had one custom made left-handed for me. So I love Jimmy.”

Along with McCartney, others honoring Buffett and celebrating his life and musical legacy at the one-night only show included the Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi , Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg .

Crow, 62, recalled how she was hired by Buffett as a backup singer before she got famous — and she made quite the arrival for their first performance together. 

“I was hired by Jimmy Buffett …I was absolutely a nobody. And I got to sing backup on 'Off to See the Lizard' with Timothy B. Schmidt,” explained Crow. “But I have to preface the story by saying I came from St. Louis. I flew to Miami. I got on a small commuter jet. We had a bomb scare. They flew us in a hundred yards above the water. They foam landed us, and then the FBI showed up. And then forevermore, Jimmy would say, ‘This girl knows how to show up to a party.’ "

She concluded, "I will tell you, he is for me the most beautiful illustration of what it means to be alive and awake and absolutely present in every moment.”

Meanwhile, Dolly Parton appeared at the tribute concert in a pre-taped message as she shared her own words of kindness for the “Margaritaville” singer. 

“Jimmy Buffet was a dear, dear friend of mine,” began Parton, 78. “I know he is looking down thinking, ‘What are you people doing? Did y'all have a margarita?’ And I'm sure we did. Most of us right? Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love Jimmy like all of you do. What a great human being he was. What a great talent he was. What a sweet, sweet soul.”

The late singer’s longtime touring band The Coral Reefer Band also played at the event and were introduced to the stage one by one by McCartney after his own performance.

Following Buffett’s death, McCartney — who played bass on “My Gummie Just Kicked In” on Buffett's final album, Equal Strain on All Parts — paid tribute to the Grammy-nominated star on social media. 

“It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people,” wrote McCartney on X (formerly known as Twitter).

“He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him,” he continued, adding, “So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole.”

McCartney concluded his post, which featured a photo of the duo laughing and holding hands, “So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend. Love, Paul.”

Buffett died from Merkel cell carcinoma a rare and aggressive skin cancer, just over eight months ago.

His death was announced in a statement posted on his social media and website .

“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs," the statement — which was accompanied by a touching photograph of Buffett sitting on a boat — read. "He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many."

Watch Paul McCartney, the Eagles Perform ‘Let It Be' at Jimmy Buffett Tribute Concert

Paul McCartney celebrated Jimmy Buffett during a tribute concert at the Hollywood Bowl last night, sharing memories of the musician and performing the Beatles' "Let It Be" with the Eagles.

"I had the great pleasure of knowing Jimmy," McCartney told the audience. "And like everyone else on the bill tonight has said, this is one great man. He was generous, he was funny, he'd done just about everything in his life."

He added, "I was on holiday with him and I forgot to bring my guitar, so he had his own guitar strung left-handed for me. And then the next time I saw him he'd had one custom made left-handed for me."

He explained that he sang several songs for Buffett during the last week of his life and wanted to perform one of them for the concert. McCartney, who was introduced by Dave Grohl, showcased the 1970 song at a grand piano while backed by the Eagles.

The concert, "Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett," also featured Brandi Carlile, Kenny Chesney, Jon Bon Jovi, and Zac Brown. The musicians, including McCartney, came together at the end of the show to perform "Margaritaville" with Buffett's own Coral Reefer Band.

Elsewhere during the tribute concert, Coral Reefer Band, Brown, and Grohl teamed up for a cover of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl," while Sheryl Crow showcased "Fins."

Brown took the opportunity to debut a new song, "Pirates and Parrots," which will officially be released on April 19.

Snoop Dogg also appeared onstage, performing his song "Gin and Juice" for the audience.

Buffett died on Sept. 1, 2023, at the age of 76. At the time, McCartney wrote , "He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him. Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it'.  So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality.

Paul McCartney toasts Jimmy Buffett with margarita at tribute concert with all-star lineup

LOS ANGELES − In a night filled with wildly eclectic musicians honoring Jimmy Buffett at the Hollywood Bowl Thursday, Paul McCartney captured the range of the "Margaritaville" bard's impossibly wide web of global friendships and joy of living.

Entering the stage late in the "Keep The Party Going" tribute concert, McCartney, 81, spoke about being invited to Buffett's home a week before the party-loving singer/songwriter died of skin cancer in September at age 76.

"He was in a pretty bad way, but he still had a twinkle in his eye," said McCartney, who sat behind the piano to perform the song he had played for his dying friend − the classic ballad "Let It Be." In Thursday's performance, McCartney jammed along with the Eagles and Don Henley .

For the next and final song, McCartney joined music stars − as diverse as Sheryl Crow and Pitbull − for Buffett's signature "Margaritaville," with Sir Paul proudly hoisting a Las Vegas-sized margarita onstage.

"This is a man with a margarita right here," said Mac McAnally, the longtime guitarist from Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, who served as "musical captain" for the evening.

Here's who else kept the Buffett party going in the star-studded concert attended by fans including Al Pacino, Courteney Cox, Larry David and Sean Penn.

Honorary Coral Reefer Sheryl Crow and Brandi Carlile rocked

Crow said she was "an absolute nobody" when Buffett hired her in 1989 to join his Coral Reefer Band.

"I know Jimmy is laughing his ass off," the singer said before breaking into "Fins."

"I need to see some fins!" Crow said, instructing the crowd to put up their “land shark” fins during the song. There were fins on stage, fins to the left and fins to the right.

Carlile spoke of bonding with Buffett over their mutual love of fishing ("that was our language") before belting soulful versions of two classics, "Tin Cup Chalice" and "Come Monday."

Snoop Dogg blows smoke at 'My main man Jimmy B' with 'Doggystyle' classic

Stage presenter Judd Apatow thought it might have been the suspicious smoking going on backstage that was making him hallucinate what he had seen on stage.

"I swear to God I just saw Snoop Dogg sing 'Gin and Juice' with the Coral Reefer Band," Apatow said.

It's true. The rapper and Buffett friend Snoop Dogg performed the classic song from his 1993 "Doggystyle" album in tribute to "my main man Jimmy B," singing the familiar words with the audience in between onstage puffs.

"Last time I saw you we smoked like there was no tomorrow," Snoop Dogg said from the stage before clearing out, leaving a cloud of smoke.

During the wide-ranging musical section that followed, ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro wowed with a solo version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and rapper Pitbull performed his classic "Don't Stop the Party" with four backup dancers.

"He’s the definition of what it means to unite, not divide," Pitbull said of his friend before belting the song he wrote, "Thank God & Jimmy Buffett," along with Jon Bon Jovi.

"He gave me fashion advice and hair tips," Bon Jovi said. “We all think we’re rock stars, but he flew his own plane to his own show. That’s a rock star.”

Harrison Ford revealed his ear-piercing origin story courtesy of Jimmy Buffett

Friends who were not able to make the concert paid tribute over video, including Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, James Taylor and surfer Kelly Slater. NBA coaching legend Pat Riley laughingly recalled when Buffett was ejected from a Miami Heat game for calling a referee "a Parrothead."

Many friends spoke in person from the stage, including tennis legend John McEnroe, who talked about Buffett watching him play during his hotheaded prime.

"He told me, 'Relax, man,'" McEnroe said. "Of course he was right."

Harrison Ford spoke about "long boozy lunch" with Buffett and "60 Minutes" newsman Ed Bradley.

"I saw both of them had earrings, so right after lunch I got my ear pierced," Ford said. "That's how infectious Jimmy's coolness was. Enough for a then 40-year-old man to get his ear pierced spontaneously and infectious enough to create this world around his music. There's no other way to say it, there will never be another Jimmy."

Of course, the Jimmy Buffett tribute ended with 'Margaritaville'

Naturally, the night's final song brought the entire cast onstage to sing Buffett's national anthem of "Margaritaville."

"Jimmy Buffett would get a big kick out of this deal," McAnally said as the sprawling crew of musicians, friends and Hollywood stars took spots at various microphones. It was like a superstar karaoke, with Crow, Bon Jovi and Henley sharing the microphone for one of the signature "wasted away again in Margaritaville" verses.

By the end of the song, McCartney's margarita was nearly drained. But he was in no hurry to put down the glass as he walked offstage with a smile.

Shakira Joins Bizarrap at Coachella, Announces World Tour

Shakira just joined Bizarrap , the Argentine DJ and hitmaker instrumental in her massive comeback, for her first-ever Coachella appearance at the Sahara Tent.

After introducing herself with a she-wolf howl, the Colombian pop legend took the mic to perform two collaborations with Bizarrap: “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” the scathing 2023 highlight of her new album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran , as well as their club-ready banger, “La Fuerte.” A swarm of screaming fans scrambled to the front, waving Argentine and Mexican flags to welcome the diva to the desert.

Shakira also broke some big news onstage: she’s embarking on a world tour to promote Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran . “Starting here this November, in this city,” she added, though it was unclear whether she meant the City of Indio.

Jellyroll vs. Jelly Roll: Pennsylvania Band Sues Country Star for Trademark Infringement

Inside jimmy buffett's tribute concert: mccartney, margaritas, and one hell of a parrothead party, a newbie's guide to 'fallout', future and metro boomin tap j. cole for 'we still don't trust you' despite apparent diss.

Shakira’s Coachella debut comes months after a Hits Daily Double report alleged that her team pushed for her to headline the festival, but that “Coachella ultimately passed.” In March, Shakira drew a crowd of more than 40,000 in Times Square as she performed songs from Las Mujeres No Lloran .

In a  Rolling Stone review , Suzy Exposito wrote about the album: “Shakira finally gets to turn the page on these tempestuous past two years, and reintroduce herself — not as Shakira the soccer mom, nor Shakira the heartbroken — but Shakira fucking Mebarak, international pop icon and undefeated champ.”
