REO Speedwagon will be performing hits from their latest album, Find Your Own Way Home, including their new single, the title track from the album, as well as all the classic favorites. STYX is also scheduled to appear on the tour.
"We played with Def Lep in Indianapolis, Columbus, and Pittsburgh last summer, and drew over twenty-thousand people at every show," says Kevin Cronin. "We're definitely gonna melt some snow this time out...and warm some hearts as well. I bet our bass player, Bruce, twenty bucks that Phil (Colin) and Vivian (Campbell) would actually keep their shirts on for these shows...it gets kinda chilly up in Canada this time of year."
