DATES FOR LEFTOVERTURE 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR
NEW STUDIO ALBUM THE
PRELUDE IMPLICIT OUT NOW
March 23rd, 2017 - KANSAS will
be expanding their highly successful Leftoverture 40th Anniversary Tour to
more parts of the United States in the fall of 2017! Billboard announced the
expansion of the tour in an exclusive article and interview here: http://bit.ly/2msBQCh
For the first time in its
43-year history, the band is performing the hit album in its entirety. The
tour showcases more than two hours of classic KANSAS music including hit
songs, deep cuts, and new songs from their new album, The Prelude Implicit.
Based on incredible demand,
dates have been confirmed for a final U.S. leg of the Leftoverture 40th
Anniversary Tour across cities such as San Francisco, CA; San Diego, CA;
Houston, TX; Minneapolis, MN; Topeka, KS; Champaign, IL; Wichita, KS;
Knoxville, TN; Toledo, OH; Jacksonville, FL; and many more.
"We are having so much fun
doing these Leftoverture 40th Anniversary shows, we just want to keep doing
them," comments KANSAS guitarist and original member Richard Williams.
"We had no idea when we started doing these, last fall, that they would
be so popular. When we first started discussing this concept, we were just
hoping to be able to do ten of these type shows. We would not have predicted
we would end up doing nearly 70 of them. I can't think of a better way to
wrap up 2017, before taking a break from the road at the beginning of 2018,
to record a new studio album."
Tickets
for most new tour dates can be purchased starting on March 31. More
information is available at www.kansasband.com. Additional presale
and VIP package information will be available at the band's Facebook page www.facebook.com/kansasband.
In 1976, KANSAS released the
album Leftoverture. Containing the smash hit and million- selling single
"Carry On Wayward Son," along with fan favorites such as "The
Wall," "Miracles Out Of Nowhere," and "What's On My
Mind," Leftoverture became the band's breakthrough album. The album
peaked at #5 on Billboard's Album charts and reached sextuple-platinum status
with more than six million copies sold. They are performing the album in its
entirety on this tour.
The Prelude Implicit, the
band's most recent album, which was released on September 23rd, marked
KANSAS' biggest selling week in the Soundscan era, and the highest charting
release since Power (1986). The album reached #14 on the Top 200 album chart,
#41 on the Billboard 200, #5 for Rock Albums, #6 for Physical Albums, #17 on
the Vinyl Albums chart and more. The Prelude Implicit is now available for
purchase in stores and online at Best Buy, Amazon, Apple Music, FYE, Barnes
& Noble, Wal-Mart, Spotify and Independent Record Shops.
