Two of music’s biggest bands, legendary multi-platinum rockers Chicago and Styx, got their start in Chicago, and now they’re joining together for their first-ever co-headlining tour, bringing the best of the Midwest to venues nationwide with The Windy Cities Tour – All The Hits…Your Kind of Tour. The trek kicks off on July 13th in West Palm Beach, FL and wraps September 6th in Los Angeles, CA, at the Kia Forum.
Styx and Chicago will be offering their own exclusive pre-sales along with VIP packages beginning tomorrow (Tues, Dec 2nd) at 10 am local time. The general sale begins on Friday, December 5th.
“We are excited about the summer tour,” says Chicago trumpeter Lee Loughnane. “Chicago has never toured with Styx before so it’s going to be a lot of fun, we’re looking forward to it.”
“In my early days of live performing, I had several mentors who were kind enough to let me join in and play with them despite not being able to read charts,” adds Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw. “Rod Henley, Ricky Parsons, Bobby and Larry Moore, Eddie Wohlford, Wimpy Jones, Country Boy Eddie and others gave me a shot. And I am thankful for that. By the time Chicago released their first album, I had enough experience to begin learning their amazing music on my own. Now, the idea of Styx touring with Chicago is a major thrill all on its own. We can’t wait to spend the summer with them!”
