Kansas
Progressive rock titans continue the celebration of their 50th anniversary
Why see Kansas?
Another Fork In The Road
The legendary Kansas are celebrating their 50th anniversary! They're heading out on the road across North America in 2024, touring their extensive catalog including AOR radio staples like 'Carry on Wayward Son' and 'Fight Fire with Fire'. Don't miss the chance to celebrate five decades of this iconic American rock band!
Though the band that has produced 14 studio albums and sold millions across the globe, they're certainly not taking it easy. Their mastery of progressive rock eclecticism and styles as varied as boogie-woogie and hair metal saw Kansas sitting pretty alongside other rock acts of the 1970s, such as Boston and Styx. The band's commercial breakthrough came with 1976's Leftoverture, which contained Carry on Wayward Son.

6 stars
If I could give this show 6 stars I would (for each band member)! Everyone was on point and harmonizing as if you were listening to an album. Focusing on each with solo segments was amazing and the vocals were incredible.
I highly recommend the vip experience for best seating, photos with the band and a real cool 50th anniversary tour package sent to your home before the show. ... Read more

Great Show
Kansas rocked the Beacon last night with an inspired performance of Lefoverture and POKR. Ronnie Platt's vocals and the band's harmonizing was the best I've heard in a live performance of any Kansas band incarnation in years. Acoustic set to start with POSW, Hold On, Refugee and Lonely Wind, set the stage for Leftoverture with standout versions of Carry On, Miracles Out of Nowhere and Magnum Opus the highlights. Fans stood for all or most of these songs and the band played off the enthusiasm of the crowd. Highlights from Point of Know Return were the title track which brought the house down, Portrait and Nobody's Home, one of the most underrated Kansas songs in their extensive playbook. The encore of Song of America and Icarus 1 from Masque were the perfect songs to appease the hard core Kansas fans attending. Overall the band was awesome, Phil is still incredible on drums driving the band. Rich continues to play most of the lead guitar parts keeping them fresh and lively but true to the originals. Billy Greer's versatility on bass and vocals has been a steady force for the band now for over 30 years, and Zak Rizvi and newcomer Tom Brislin brought excitement to the stage and killed on their solo opportunities. The Beacon is always awesome and my left side orchestra seats were better than expected. The show lasted 2.5 hours and was pure enjoyment for this Kansas fan all the way through. ... Read more
