Gulf Shores officials announced Wednesday morning that two popular celebrities will be visiting the area for benefit beach concerts.

Bon Jovi will perform on October 15. Brad Paisley will perform October 17. Tickets will be free.

The event will resemble the Jimmy Buffett concert, who performed earlier this summer to attract more tourists to the Gulf Coast area.

These concerts are in conjunction with the "Thunder on the Gulf", a boat race at the Gulf State Park Pavilion October 14 through October 17.

Tickets will be available through Gulf Shores and Orange Beach lodging partners starting Wednesday, September 8th. Click here for a list of accommodations offering reservation packages with free tickets.

Bon Jovi is visiting Gulf Shores in between concerts in Brazil and Japan.

The purpose of the concerts is to bring money and tourism back to the area, which has missed out on a lot of the summer tourism money that came to the coast in previous years.

The local economy was hit hard after the BP oil spill back in April.
