The tour of the summer unites three iconic bands, Styx, Foreigner and special guests Kansas, responsible for countless Top Ten hits and well over 100 million album sales.

United In Rock, scheduled to kick off in May, brings together three bands that helped shape rock and roll for a generation of music fans by dominating the charts and airwaves for decades. Tickets go on sale March 6th for shows in Boston and Chicago with additional tour dates and ticket on sale information to be announced shortly at LiveNation.com. With tickets beginning at $10* in select markets, this is sure to be the summer’s biggest night of hits in 2010, uniting fans from all over the country to a rock bash for less cash.

“I am very excited to be performing this summer with both Foreigner and Kansas on our United In Rock Tour. These three bands represent the more rocking side of the classic rock genre. With the countless great rock songs each band will be performing this is going to be a guitars-a-blazin’ good time had by all. STYX is a band that one of our best known songs is about the blue collar man in the unemployment line and we totally identify with the average hard working people that are facing difficult economic times. We want to say thank you with affordable tickets for you and your family,” said James “JY” Young of Styx.

“Super line up, amazing songs, can’t wait, let’s rock,” said Foreigner’s Mick Jones.

The three rock legends will team up for an evening full of some of the most memorable rock songs ever recorded, mining 30 years of hits on a tour that will take them to Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Atlanta, Virginia Beach, DC, New York, Boston, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Detroit and more cities to be announced.

Styx

With more than 35 millions albums sold worldwide and 16 Top 20 singles (12 Top Ten Singes), the band has performed more live since ’99 than all of the previous years of its career combined, with two highly coveted Super-Bowl appearances and Pollstar chart-topping tours with other rock legends including Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, and Bad Company to name a few. Styx is one of the few bands ever to have three top ten songs in three different decades, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Career-wide Styx have released a total of 15 albums with 8 top ten hits including some of their most popular “Come Sail Away,” “Renegade,” “Too Much Time On My Hands”, and “Blue Collar Man.

Foreigner

Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world, racking up scores of smash hits, multi-platinum albums, and sold out concert tours. From ‘Feels Like The First Time and “Cold As Ice” to “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent” to “Jukebox Hero,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You” to the chart topper “I Want To Know What Love is”, Foreigner’s thrilling mix of blustery blues and impeccably crafted pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans. Foreigner recently performed the title track form their latest album “Can’t Slow Down” to a sell out crowd and a TV audience of over six million NASCAR fans at The Pepsi 500, an event that helped drive the bands catalogue sales to the point where they currently outsell those of the Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and most of their rock peers. Today, over 70 million albums later, Foreigner is an ensemble of talented musicians with credentials that make the band stronger and more powerful than ever.
