NewsBLITZ: CAN’T STOP ROCKIN’ 2009 TOUR

VH1 Classic and the video game Rock Band are presenting the Can’t Stop Rockin’ 2009 Tour featuring three classic rock acts: REO Speedwagon, Styx and .38 Special.

The tour is geared to give audiences “the ultimate classic rock experience at a fan friendly ticket price,” which will be as low as $13.50 at certain venues. “Both bands have always tried to keep our ticket prices low so that none of our fans get left out,” says Styx vocalist/guitarist Tommy Shaw. “It’s our own personal Rock ‘N’ Roll Stimulus package!” REO Speedwagon frontman Kevin Cronin adds: “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 [and] 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.”


In honor of the tour, Styx and REO Speedwagon have recorded a brand new single, “Can’t Stop Rockin’”—co-written by Cronin and Shaw—that will debut this month.
