Jimmy Buffett announces date for Jones Beach summer show

Attention Parrotheads: Paradise is returning this summer as Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band comes to Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh for one night only on Aug. 4 as part of his “Slack Tide” 2020 tour.

Fans will get their “Fins” up as Buffett, who lives part of the year in Southampton, plays hits “Margaritaville,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Volcano” and “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” at his annual late summer Long Island concert. Hawaiian shirts, flip-flops, leis and panama hats are encouraged.

Don’t forget to come early for the legendary tailgate party where fans turn the parking lot into a tropical utopia complete with portable palm trees, temporary sand and blowup pools.    

Tickets go on sale Monday, Jan. 13, at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com or call 800-745-3000. There’s an eight-ticket limit per person.
