Raise your hand if you love REO Speedwagon, or still listen to the mighty Styx. Okay, now put your hand back down. People can see you.

Okay, now put your hand back down. People can see you.

To promote their upcoming joint tour, the two 80’s bands have teamed up to record a new single, “Can’t Stop Rockin’,” co-written by REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin and Styx’s Tommy Shaw. “Can’t Stop Rockin'” will make its radio debut this month, and will also be available for download.

The “Can’t Stop Rockin’ Tour,” which also features .38 Special (“Caught Up in You,” “If I’d Been the One”), is being billed as a “Rock and Roll Stimulus Package,” with ticket prices as low as 13.50 in most markets. The tour launches May 20th in New Mexico. Dates can be found at Styxworld.com

Says Kevin Cronin, “The world is going through a weird phase, and everybody needs music now more than ever. We all need to join our friends, pool our resources, combine our energies, because there is power in people coming together. That spirit has brought REO and Styx together to write, record and tour together, and celebrate it all with the greatest fans in America.”

Amen, brother.
