Legendary performers STYX and Chicago are coming to the newly built Acrisure Amphitheatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 30th. The Windy Cities Tour Chicago and Styx are coming together for their first-ever co-headlining tour! The two bands both got their start in the windy city Chicago, and are bringing the best of the Midwest to venues nationwide with The Windy Cities Tour – All The Hits…Your Kind of Tour. The tour kicks off July 13 in West Palm Beach, FL and will wrap up September 6 in Los Angeles, CA.
“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.”
“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,” adds 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!”
