Black Diamond Harley-Davidson, located at 2400 Williamson County Drive in Marion, announced on Wednesday that Confederate Railroad will play at the dealership on Thursday Sept. 5, according to a press release from the dealership.

“We have hosted many bands over the years,” Shad Zimbro, co-owner of Black Diamond Harley-Davidson, said in the release. “This was one that southern Illinois seemed to really want, and we were able to get them to play here.” 

Tickets go on sale Friday, July 12 at 9 a.m, according to the press release. General admission tickets for this all ages show will be $20, plus fees. Purchases can be made at the dealership or online at BlackDiamondHD.com.

“The band and I are excited to be playing at Black Diamond HD and meeting all our fans in southern Illinois, soon,” Danny Shirley of Confederate Railroad, said in the release. “The fans made this possible, and we are beyond grateful to share our love of music with them Sept 5.”

Confederate Railroad was scheduled to play at the Du Quoin State Fair on Aug. 27. Last week, The Illinois Department of Agriculture cancelled the appearance.

“This is the only show the dealership has scheduled for 2019, so come and show support for the band and southern Illinois,” Zimbro said in the press release.
