38 Special Coming to Hobart Arena May 15, Tickets on Sale March 6

Provided by Hobart Arena

TROY – 38 Special has announced a stop in Troy, Ohio at the Hobart Arena as part of their 50 Year Legacy Tour on Friday, May 15, 2026.

 

   50 years together. 20 million albums sold. More than 15 albums of guitar-driven southern rock, stacked high with hits like “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up In You,” “If I’d Been The One,” “Back Where You Belong,” and “Second Chance.” 38 Special is proof that there’s strength in numbers.

 

   Formed in 1974, the band toured tirelessly from the start, sharpening the explosive live show that's been 38 Special's calling card for a half-century. Along the way, the Florida natives finetuned their sound too: a blend of muscle and melody, filled with the arena-rock pop hooks that would soon become staples of FM radio. Years passed… trends changed… some band members retired from the rigors…but 38 Special remained, hitting the road year after year, flying the flag for an enduring form of classic rock & roll that never dies.  

 

   As 38 Special enters its sixth decade together, the music continues with Milestone. It's the band's first studio album in more than 20 years, and it showcases a group of road warriors with plenty of miles left in the tank. Fueled up on snarling guitars, anthemic melodies, and the desire to break new ground, they update their sound for the 2020s, bridging the gap between past and present without forgetting their rock & roll roots. 

 

   Opening the night will be local 70s and 80s rock/classic rock band, Latter.  Latter was formed in 2007 in Greenville and are noted for being one of the area’s premier bands that brings a high impact show to its audience.
