“This tour won’t just be a great time with great people, but a tour that will have a ton of familiar songs to most generations,” Train’s frontman Pat Monahan said. “I will be wishing I was in the audience as much as I’ll love being on the stage.”
Train is known for hits including “Hey, Soul Sister,” which won a GRAMMY in 2011 and passed one billion streams on Spotify in 2022. Train has had 24 songs reach the Top 10 across Billboard charts and released their latest album in May 2022.
“When I was younger I heard a band called REO Speedwagon and fell in love with their numerous, infectious hit songs,” Monahan said.
REO Speedwagon was formed in 1967 and has been fronted by Kevin Cronin since 1972. The band’s 1980 album Hi Infidelity was the number one album for 15 weeks and later earned RIAA’s 10X Diamond Award, meaning more than 10 million units have been sold in the United States.
