REO Speedwagon and Styx Tickets
Budweiser Stage | Toronto, Ontario
No more Zoom meetings, no more Teams messages, no more YouTube livestreams, This is the Live and UnZoomed Tour with REO Speedwagon and co- headliners Styx with their very special friends, Loverboy at the Budweiser Stage on Tuesday, August 16th, 2022. These aging rockers are putting their collective foot down, they don’t want to be “internet influencers,” and sell you on “the joys of owning NFTs,” and they don’t want to live another day in their home studios, they want out! They want to play some real ROCK music to REAL people! So, buy your real tickets and come listen to them live, in the flesh and very, very loud!
At the tour announcement, Styx’s Tommy Shaw stated, “I can’t think of a better way of touring the U.S.A. next year than with good friends we’ve known for years and performed with on many a stage.” With REO Speedwagon’s, Kevin Cronin saying “Tommy Shaw and I have done a number of Zoom performances together during the pandemic, and REO and STYX are ready to go get UnZoomed, and out on the road for our fifth US tour together. Add our great friends Mike Reno and the Loverboy guys, and I am totally psyched. If I wasn’t performing in it, I would totally come out to see this show. See you all, LIVE & UNZOOMED!”
