REO Speedwagon will team up with another popular veteran rock band, Train, for a major summer co-headlining trek dubbed, appropriately enough, the Summer Road Trip 2024 Tour. The outing kicks off July 8 in Somerset, Wisconsin, and is mapped out through a September 11 show in Phoenix.

REO Speedwagon and Train will celebrate the upcoming tour by joining forces for their first-ever performance together this Wednesday, January 31, on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The late-night talk show airs at 11:35 p.m. ET/10:35 p.m. CT on ABC, and will be available for streaming the following day on Hulu.
Also in honor of the trek, the two bands have announced a surprise joint show that will take place on Thursday, February 1, at the famous Los Angeles-area club the Whisky a Go Go.
“[Train singer] Pat Monahan and I have done several benefit shows over the years, and now we get to take out our bands for a summer full of music and fun,” REO Speedwagon frontman Kevin Cronin said in a statement. “I love the idea of bringing together people of all ages, who share a common love for well-crafted songs and high energy live performances. The REO boys are stoked about this tour.”
In his own statement, Monahan said, “When I was younger I heard a band called REO Speedwagon and fell in love with their numerous, infectious hit songs. Years later I met Kevin Cronin, and thank goodness he’s as great a person as he is a songwriter.”
He added, “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. I will be wishing I was in the audience as much as I’ll love being on the stage.”
Prior to the Summer Road Trip Tour, REO Speedwagon has a variety of U.S. shows lined up in the spring. These concerts include five performances in March with Rick Springfield and two in April with Cheap Trick. The veteran rockers also have two three-date Las Vegas residency engagements at The Venetian Theatre, in May and October.
Train, meanwhile, will head to Europe for a series of shows in April and May.
