Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, and bassist Zac Cockrell are also working on new material with producer Shawn Everett

Alabama Shakes' Zac Cockrell, Brittany Howard and Heath Fogg are shown in a photo shared to Facebook, with an announcement of a summer festival gig in Minnesota, the band's first since Dec. 18's Tuscaloosa Get-Up 3. The band had been on hiatus for several years prior.

Alabama Shakes’ last proper concert was eight years ago at Montreal’s Osheaga festival, after which Howard embarked on a successful solo career. The group reunited for a secret nine-song set in December in Tuscaloosa, Al., and Howard also debuted her new hardcore band, KUMITE, at a recent show in Nashville.
