Alabama will tour for the first time in more than a decade, with their first concerts planned for April 5-6 in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

The title of their Back to the Bowery tour is a reference to the dive bar where they first played in 1973. The upcoming dates in Myrtle Beach will take place at the Alabama Theatre. Although they reunited for a 2011 tornado relief concert in Birmingham, Ala., this will be the band's first tour since 2002.

In Atlanta May 15th. In addition, the band will host a cruise, titled Alabama and Friends Festival at Sea, departing from Miami on Oct. 24.
