“Tommy Shaw and I have done a number of Zoom performances together during the pandemic, and REO and STYX are ready to go get UnZoomed, and out on the road for our fifth US tour together. Add our great friends Mike Reno and the Loverboy guys, and I am totally psyched. If I wasn’t performing in it, I would totally come out to see this show. See you all, LIVE & UNZOOMED!” said Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, and Styx’s Tommy Shaw added, “I can’t think of a better way of touring the U.S.A. next year than with good friends we’ve known for years and performed with on many a stage.”
