Jimmy Buffet had a lot of important musical friends. Here’s proof.

When Jimmy Buffet died of a rare form of skin cancer last year, Parrotheads all over the world went into mourning. There’s now a tribute set for the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on April 11 which is being billed as “Keep the Party Going.”

Check out who has agreed to perform: Paul McCartney, Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi, Zac Brown, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Scotty Emerick, Jack Johnson, Caroline Jones, Mac McAnally, Jake Owen, Pitbull, Jake Shimabukuro, The Coral Reefer Band, and more to be named later.

Tickets go on sale Friday. The capacity of the Hollywood Bowl is 17,500, so a sellout will be instant. Can you imagine how much these tickets will end up selling for on the secondary market?
