Martin last came to Jacksonville,
FL in 2018; and he’s coming back once again.
AEG Presents has announced that The LIT AF Tour, hosted by Martin Lawrence, will embark
on another nationwide tour in 2020. The
25+ date tour will kick off on Friday, January 31, 2020 in Washington D.C. at

“Martin has proven to be a real touring force over the last
years selling out marquee arenas across the country. His enduring film and TV resume is timeless
and it has been such a pleasure and honor to work with one of the most
legendary comedy forces in the business,” says Jesse Stoll, Senior Talent

the heels of Bad Boys III, he is bringing some of his biggest and baddest
friends on the road continuing the LIT AF brand and bracing the world for a
killer comedy explosion!”

Lawrence. “Bringing the tour back out on the road is always exciting, no two
shows are the same and we all bring something different to the party.”

Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson will bring a night of hits to
northeast Florida with a concert featuring William Michael Morgan. Jackson’s Jacksonville concert will continue
his tradition of “keepin’-it-country” for people far and wide as he
brings nearly 30 years of hits to northeast Florida.
Alan Jackson has been celebrating and telling real-life stories in his music
since arriving on the scene in 1989. His
concerts are filled with three decades of hits that have gained him legions of
longtime fans – songs that draw added crowds as a younger generation discovers
his music. Jackson’s repertoire stands
the test of time; it has impacted a field of artists who cite him an
influence…and his music has earned him a place alongside music’s greatest
names, cementing his place in its history with membership in the Country Music
Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Fans will hear the songs they love from the
man who wrote and made them famous – his debut hit “Here in The Real World”
signature songs “Chattahoochee,” “Drive” and “Gone Country” party
anthems “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and “Good Time” and many
more.
Newcomer William Michael Morgan will be Jackson’s special guest. The chart-topping hit “I Met a Girl”
put the Mississippi native on the map, and his talent, music and voice are
keeping him there. A timeless sound and
honest lyrics landed him a major label record deal at 19, gave him that #1 gold
smash, and earned him a Top 5 debut album. A few years older – and hundreds of shows
wiser – William Michael’s music embodies the man he’s become: a hard worker and
big dreamer, single dad and hopeless romantic, pure country stalwart unafraid
to embrace the here and now.
