Shinedown is currently in between dates in South Dakota and Europe, so it’s pretty wild to see the popular Jacksonville hard-rock band scheduled to play a free concert at St. Petersburg’s Daddy Kool Records tomorrow, Friday, July 1.

A rep for Shinedown told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the show celebrating the release of the band’s new album Planet Zero happened serendipitously.
Manny Kool, co-owner of Daddy Kool, added that his record store’s ability to host a large outdoor show, in-store signing and history with large scale events helped seal the deal along with the proximity to Shinedown’s hometown.

A global livestream is happening for non-Tampa Bay locals, and a ticket is required to attend the show. The first 500 people who pre-order Planet Zero for in-store pickup at Daddy Kool—located at the Factory, 800 28th St. S in St. Petersburg—will also get access to an in-store signing.
