Petty Homecoming Broadcast

09/19/06
. (PR) It's going to be a huge homecoming for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers this Thursday, September 21 when they return to Gainesville, Florida to perform in concert for the first time in 13 years. Petty, guitarist Mike Campbell, and keyboardist Benmont Tench were born and raised in and around Gainesville, and bassist Ron Blair lived in the area for many years. Gainesville's Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan will present the band with the Key to the City as well as proclaiming September 21 to be "Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Day," Tom will also be presented with the University of Florida's Distinguished Achievement Award which is given to individuals for exceptional achievements in a chosen profession, for demonstrated leadership, and for other exemplary accomplishments that merit the special recognition of the university.

The Gainesville concert, which sold out in ten minutes, will be broadcast live (tape delayed in a handful of cities) by Westwood One to some 100 radio stations across the U.S. A list of those radio stations and markets appears below. The concert will also be filmed for a two-hour TV special with details forthcoming.
