Platinum selling classic rockers REO Speedwagon will come to the H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center as a part of the band’s “Family First” tour.
After forming in 1967 and welcoming lead vocalist Kevin Cronin in 1972, the group has amazed audiences through the decades with its unique sound and styling.
Through the years, REO Speedwagon has seen more success than most big-name bands could ever dream of. The band’s 1980 masterpiece album “Hi Infidelity” has sold more than 20 million copies domestically and roughly 40 million copies worldwide, one among many albums by the group to be certified platinum or gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
REO Speedwagon is a band that is used to spending months, if not years, on the road, playing shows across the United States and in Canada, as well.
This tour will see the band playing fewer dates than the group’s previous tours, freeing up band members to spend more time at home with their families, hence the name of the “Family First” tour.
The show is Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 8 p.m. and tickets range from $59 to $75.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the Luhrs Center box office.
