Lynyrd Skynyrd is "Comin' Back for More" with a performance scheduled at the 82nd annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

The classic rock band behind hits like "Free Bird," "Simple Man" and "Sweet Home Alabama" will play at the Buffalo Chip on Aug. 7.

The band has played at the Buffalo Chip numerous times, but returns after four years away. It's currently made up of original member Gary Rossington and Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Mark "Sparky" Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Johnny Colt, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase.

"What's remarkable about a Skynyrd show at the Buffalo Chip is that the band has just as much love for the audience as the audience does for the band," said Rod Woodruff, president of the Buffalo Chip. "This magical energy creates a party atmosphere that both diehard Skynyrd fans and new fans won't want to miss experiencing."

Before making their way to the rally, the band will play at the Magic City Blues Festival on Aug. 6 in Billings.
