Paul McCartney, the Eagles, Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown are among the many artists who will perform in honor of the late Jimmy Buffett at a tribute concert in April.

tickets for the tribute concert, promoted by Live Nation-Hewitt Silva, go on sale to the general public on March 15.
Many of the artists involved in Keep the Party Going – friends and collaborators – have previously paid tribute to Buffett after the “Margaritaville” legend died on September 1, 2023, at the age of 76.
“He had an amazing zest for life and a beautiful sense of humor,” Buffett's friend McCartney wrote at the time. “When we traded stories about the past, his stories were so exotic and lush and included sailing and surfing trips and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him. Until the last moment his eyes shone with a humor that said: “I love this world and I will enjoy every minute of it.” Jimmy and his huge personality will be missed by many of us. His love for all of us and for humanity as a whole.”
Chesney, who collaborated with Buffett in 2018 on an update of “Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season,” uploaded a solo cover of “A Pirate Looks at Forty” after the singer-songwriter's death. Chesney is one of several country artists on the lineup, underscoring Buffett's influence in Nashville.
