With
a legendary career spanning more than four decades, KANSAS has firmly established
itself as one of America’s iconic classic rock bands. This “garage

more than 30 million albums worldwide. Composing a catalogue that includes
fifteen studio albums and five live albums, KANSAS has produced eight gold
albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return,
Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), and two one

KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70’s
and ‘80’s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America,
Europe and Japan. ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ continues to be one of the top five
most played songs on classic rock radio, and ‘Dust In the Wind’ has been played
on the radio more than three million times. Last
month “Carry On Wayward Son” was certified as a 4x Platinum-selling
single, and “Dust in the Wind” was certified as a 3x Platinum-selling
single by RIAA. Continuing to write their legacy,
KANSAS will be releasing their 16th studio album in the summer of 2020.

Says
KANSAS, “We look forward to touring with FOREIGNER. It has been nearly ten
years since both bands have done a full tour together. That run was a blast,
and we are excited to get started this summer. The bands and the crews get
along great, and we’ll all be working tougher to perform an exceptional show
for the fans.”

Album.

“The band is super thrilled that this summer, we’ll be back in the
USA… the birthplace of rock and roll,” says EUROPE’s Joey Tempest. “It’s been
four long years and we are honored to be on the road with FOREIGNER and KANSAS
