Following another successful year of touring, REO Speedwagon is back on the road again.

On Friday, December 11, at 8 p.m., REO Speedwagon will come to the IU Auditorium, presented by New Covenant Productions. Audiences in Bloomington will be treated to the band’s massive hit singles such as “Keep on Loving You,” “Take It on the Run,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” and many more. Tickets are on sale now at all Ticketmaster outlets and the IU Auditorium box office. The opening act will be Tim Stop.

Formed in 1967, signed in 1971, and fronted by Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon has rocked to the top of the charts with a RIAA-certified 22 million albums sold in the U.S., 40 million around the globe, and a string of gold and platinum records.
