Jeff Hardy Announces Meet & Greet + Acoustic Tour

Jeff Hardy is staying busy following his WWE release.

The former World Heavyweight Champion announced he will be going on the road for a meet & greet and acoustic concert tour.

The tour is set to begin on Thursday, December 16 with a show at the Miramar Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He will then hold six further events before the final show on January 16 at Bigs Sports in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The following dates have been announced for the tour:

• December 16 at the Miramar Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
• December 17 at Bub City in Rosemont, Illinois
• December 18 at Dusty Boots Saloon in Rockford, Illinois
• December 19 at XBK Live in Des Moines, Iowa
• January 13 at The Royal Grove in Lincoln, Nebraska
• January 14 at The Slowdown in Omaha, Nebraska
• January 15 at Tak Music Venue in Fargo, North Dakota
• January 16 at Bigs Sports in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Hardy was released from his WWE contract on December 9 only days after he was sent home from a WWE house show. The former WWE Champion was involved in a six-man tag team match at a live event in Edinburg, Texas and fan footage showed Hardy grew sluggish as the match went on. Hardy then tagged out of the match and left the ringside area through the crowd.

The 44-year-old has battled drug and alcohol addiction throughout his career but brother Matt Hardy recently explained he isn't worried about his brother's health and he believes WWE may have "jumped the gun" on releasing Jeff.
