HazzardNet has received official information that John Schneider and Tom Wopat are making concert appearances together in 2008! These cabaret shows are likely to sell out quickly, so we’re giving you the raw information as we have it.

We have confirmation that John and Tom are scheduled to perform at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, in Costa Mesa CA, on May 10, 2008. For ticket info and details, visit the link below, and scroll to the bottom of the page:

We will share other concert dates as they’re announced.

We also have unofficial information that indicates Tom Wopat will be attending the 2008 DukesFest in Atlanta, GA, June 28 & 29 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway!

Tom was unable to attend the 2007 DukesFest due to a touring commitment with the off-broadway musical production of “Chicago.” And while Tom always has an escape clause that lets him take a Broadway gig if it comes up, so far it sounds like he’s on board for DukesFest 2008! (Note, cast appearances are always subject to change – we’ll bring you the latest DukesFest news as it becomes available.)

While we’re talking about John & Tom – we’d better mention that their 1987 holiday movie, “Christmas Come to Willow Creek” is available on DVD. It’s for sale at most DVD retail outlets and Amazon.com. This is your big chance to see John and Tom together in a non-Dukes setting as bickering, truck-driving brothers rather than chummy, car-racing cousins. It’s not your average, sappy, Christmas special, so if you like a little angst served up with your eggnog, you’ll enjoy this flick. It gets mushy at the end, but hey, it’s a Christmas movie! Enjoy the fistfights until you get there.

All of us at HazzardNet want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Watch some football, enjoy your time with family, and most of all stuff yer faces with some turkey and fixin’s!

Dukes of Hazzard fans in America can now rejoice with their UK counterparts. We’ve gotten word that the Graham Norton Show featuring the Dukes of Hazzard cast (Tom Wopat, John Schneider, and Cathy Bach) will be airing on BBC America. Check your local listings for air times.

Dukes of Hazzard fans in the UK rejoice! Cathy Bach, John Schneider, and Tom Wopat will be appearing on the Graham Norton Show on Wednesday, November 21. If you are in the UK and would like tickets to the show, please contact Newton at newtonv/at/sotv.co.uk.

Tuesday, November 13, at 8:00 p.m. eastern, CMT will air the 1997 made-for-TV movie, “The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!” This is the story of what became of the cousins Duke after going their separate ways – and what happens when the family is reunited again in Hazzard County.

Best of all, there’s car chases! This is the movie that contained the only appearance of the famed “Double-Zero” Mustang. The “00”, we’re told, is the only car to have ever beaten the General Lee in a Hazzard County road race. Now, there’s a re-match with the farm at stake, and plenty of dirty-dealings by the opposition.

But wait, there’s more! Immediately following “Reunion”, CMT is airing the 2000 made-for-TV movie, “The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood.” This is the last outing for the original cast, and bittersweet with the absence of the late Denver Pyle. Still, it’s full of fun Dukes antics, and watching Rosco get his tie stuck in an ATM is a classic moment.

Don’t miss your rare chance to see these seldom-aired shows!
