The celebration begins this summer and runs through 2024
Classic rock icons Kansas have announced plans for their 50th anniversary tour. The massive trek will see the band perform over 40 shows throughout 2023 into 2024. The Another Fork in the Road Tour begins on June 2 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and wraps up on January 28, 2024 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Tickets and VIP Packages go on sale this Friday, January 27, at 10am local time HERE.
“Our entire career has been a winding journey,” guitarist and original Kansas member Richard Williams noted in a press release. “Whether it’s been the ‘original’ lineup signing with Don Kirshner, years on the bus, touring with Queen, worldwide success peaking with Leftoverture and Point of Know Return, the valleys of the ’90s and ‘dinosaur bands’ losing steam, various lineup changes, to our most recent ‘rebirth’ and success of our latest new music over the last eight years – there have been several forks in the road of that journey. This 50th Anniversary Tour and release will represent that journey and the forks along that road.”
“I’m incredibly excited about the 50th Anniversary Tour,” adds vocalist Ronnie Platt, who joined the band’s lineup in 2014. “I tell people I’m not allowed to create a set list, because it would be five hours long. There are so many songs I want to perform live. I think fans will be excited not only to hear our hits and fan favorites spanning 50 years of Kansas but also some songs that haven’t been performed live in decades.”
Additionally, Kansas have released a career-spanning compilation titled Another Fork in the Road – 50 years of Kansas. The album is available digitally and on a three-CD set. Fans can purchase it now HERE.
