Are you ready for a double dose of classic rock?
Then make plans for a big doubleheader of Styx and Chicago in 2026.
The two classic rock acts are venturing off on their first-ever co-headlining road show — dubbed The Windy Cities Tour – All The Hits…Your Kind of Tour — which includes a stop in the Bay Area.
Chicago and Styx (which also got its start in the famed “Windy City”) perform Sept. 4 at Toyota Pavilion at Concord.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Dec. 5, livenation.com.
There is also a presale for Citi cardmembers that begin at 10 a.m. Dec. 2. (The bands will also be offering their own presales.)
“We are excited about the summer tour,” says Chicago trumpeter Lee Loughnane. “Chicago has never toured with Styx before so it’s going to be a lot of fun, we’re looking forward to it.”
The musicians in Styx are also eagerly anticipating the tour.
“In my early days of live performing I had several mentors who were kind enough to let me join in and play with them despite not being able to read charts,” says Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw. “Rod Henley, Ricky Parsons, Bobby and Larry Moore, Eddie Wohlford, Wimpy Jones, Country Boy Eddie and others gave me a shot. And I am thankful for that. By the time Chicago released their first album, I had enough experience to begin learning their amazing music on my own. Now, the idea of Styx touring with Chicago is a major thrill all on its own. We can’t wait to spend the summer with them!”
