The Bellamy Brothers have kicked off the second leg of their 40th anniversary tour, preparing their return to the U.S. after a series of gigs in Norway and Switzerland.

"This has been an incredible year," David Bellamy says in a statement.

"Our tour schedule has been one of the most extensive in years and the offers keep coming in.

With four international tours and more than 100 dates in the US, we've yet to have an 'off' weekend."

"Performing on stage is all we know," Howard Bellamy adds.

"Hell, we've been doing it for 40 years. As long as folks keep wanting to hear our music we'll stay on the road and will continue to put out new music.

Our universal fan base continues to thrive and grow so here's to 40 more years!"

The Bellamy Brothers begin their U.S. tour on October 9 at Bellville, Texas' Austin County Fair.

The full list of dates is available at their website.
