Bon Jovi, Brad Paisley to play Gulf Shores beach shows

The other flip-flop has finally dropped: Bon Jovi and Brad Paisley will follow Jimmy Buffett in performing BP-funded beach concerts in Gulf Shores.

The Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism agency announced Wednesday morning that Bon Jovi will perform on the Gulf Shores Beach on Friday, Oct. 15, followed by Brad Paisley on Sunday, Oct. 17.

According the agency, the shows are free to the public. Tickets will be available through “Gulf Shores and Orange Beach lodging partners” starting Wednesday, Sept. 8. That suggests that most tickets will be given to hotels and condo owners to help attract overnight guests.

A list of venues offering reservation packages with free tickets can be found at http://gulfshores.com/packages-deals/.

According to organizers, “A limited number of tickets will be available for local distribution to area residents on Saturday, Sept. 11. A valid government issued photo ID is required and there is a 2-ticket limit per person available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Details are available on the website www.concertsforthecoast.com."

The concerts will take place the same week as the Thunder on the Gulf powerboat racing event in Orange Beach.
