What would have been the legendary REO Speedwagon‘s last Houston-area show was canceled in August of 2024, and not long after the band announced they’d be splitting up due to differences between singer Kevin Cronin and bassist Bruce Hall. Despite the Speedwagon rolling to a stop, Cronin is “back on the road again,” and he’s bringing a lot of REO with him.

Cronin is heading to Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion on Friday, June 6, in The Woodlands, for a night of REO Speedwagon music, along with fellow Illinois-based band Styx for their “The Brotherhood of Rock” tour. While he may be touring as “Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon,” his band is the entire final touring lineup of REO Speedwagon; guitarist Dave Amato, drummer Bryan Hitt, keyboardist Derek Hilland and bassist Matt Bissonette. It’s worth noting all members of REO Speedwagon’s final lineup have been excluded from Hall’s and keyboardist Neal Doughty’s one-off concert with several former bandmates on June 14 in Champaign, IL.
