REO Speedwagon are going to “Take It On The Run” again this fall.
The ’80s icons just announced they’re extending their 2024 tour with 11 new dates this November that will send them to venues all over the Midwest and South.
At these fall gigs, Kevin Cronin and co. will be joined by “Working For The Weekend” group Loverboy.
And, while they won’t come to the Northeast in November, REO Speedwagon will hit Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Thursday, Aug. 1 on their summer tour with Train and The Yacht Rock Revue.
In total, the “Can’t Stop Loving You” quintet has a whopping 47 shows — some with Train, others co-headlining alongside Rick Springfield, a handful of solo gigs and now the Loverboy trek — lined up for the rest of the year.
They’ll be going all out at each and every concert, too.
“At this point in our careers there are those who choose to become complacent and rest on their past achievements,” Cronin shared on Instagram. “That attitude does not work for me. Our audiences shell out their hard-earned money for concert tickets, and we owe them our complete and total effort every night. Anything less than our best is simply unacceptable.”
If you want to be there to belt along with the hard-working band, tickets are available for all shows as soon as today.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming REO Speedwagon shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the newly announced November concerts is Friday, Aug. 2.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
