Tom Petty brings summer tour to the Forum
Article published on Monday, Feb. 4, 2008 |
TAMPA - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers along with special guest Steve Winwood are coming to the St. Pete Times Forum on Wednesday, July 16, 7:30 p.m. Ticket sales began Feb. 4, 10 a.m.
Tickets are $55 and $99.75 and available at the McDonald Box Office at the Forum and all Ticketmaster Outlets including Spec’s Music and FYE. To order tickets by phone, call Ticketmaster at 813-287-8844 or 727-898-2100. Prices do not include service charges.
The 2008 summer tour follows on the heels of a remarkable few years in which Petty and the Heartbreakers have gone from strength to strength. The band's sold-out 30th anniversary tour was the biggest of their career.
The Peter Bogdanovich-directed documentary "Runnin’ Down A Dream," a commercial and critical success for the band, established the Heartbreaker's story as a striking embodiment of the American Dream. After the film premiered at the 2007 New York Film Festival, audiences worldwide saw the Heartbreakers' story of triumph both in theaters and at home.
The summer tour promises to be a further affirmation that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are indeed one of the best live bands in the business. As in past years, the Heartbreakers will travel with a very special, handpicked support act. Previous tours have featured special guests including Jackson Browne, Pearl Jam, the Strokes, the Allman Brothers, Stevie Nicks, and others.
This summer tour continues the tradition of great musical packages, with legend Steve Winwood opening every show.
For more information, call 813-301-2500 or visit www.stpetetimesforum.com. Advanced parking passes are available at www.ticketmaster.com and the McDonald’s Box Office at the St. Pete Times Forum.
