The Allman Brothers Band [ tickets ] will continue celebrating its 40th anniversary this spring and summer with a fresh leg of headlining and festival dates.

The band, which is currently in the middle of its annual Beacon Theatre residency in New York City, will hit the West Coast for the first time in four years when the first leg of the "40 Years of Highs & Lows" tour kicks off May 12 and 13 in Oakland, CA. The veteran southern rockers will hit seven cities in the West before heading back to the opposite coast late in the month for an appearance at the May 31 Mountain Jam Festival in Hunter, NY.

The following month, the Allmans will host the June 5-6 Wanee Festival in Live Oak, FL, headlining a bill that also includes Gov't Mule, Drive-By Truckers, Umphrey's McGee and others. Dates are included below.

The band's New York City shows mark a return to the Beacon Theatre after the group was forced to scrap its annual residency last year so that vocalist/keyboardist Gregg Allman could recuperate from treatments for Hepatitis C. The singer recovered enough for the band to embark on a late-summer concert run that extended into last fall.

"I feel great," Allman said in a statement at the time. "We did about 20 shows this summer and we were really hitting it."
