Chicago and Styx—two heavyweight bands that both came out of Chicago—are teaming up for their first-ever co-headlining run. Dubbed "The Windy Cities Tour – All The Hits…Your Kind of Tour", the trek launches July 13 in West Palm Beach, FL and wraps September 6 in Los Angeles, CA.

Both bands will host their own presales, with VIP packages available starting Tuesday, December 2 at 10am local time. Mastercard and Citi cardholders get their own U.S. presales the same day at 10am and 12pm, respectively.

Additional presales run throughout the week before the general onsale begins Friday, December 5 at 10am local time via Live Nation.

Chicago's Lee Loughnane shared:

We are excited about the summer tour. Chicago has never toured with Styx before so it's going to be a lot of fun, we're looking forward to it.

Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw adds:

In my early days of live performing I had several mentors who were kind enough to let me join in and play with them despite not being able to read charts. Rod Henley, Ricky Parsons, Bobby and Larry Moore, Eddie Wohlford, Wimpy Jones, Country Boy Eddie and others gave me a shot. And I am thankful for that. By the time Chicago released their first album, I had enough experience to begin learning their amazing music on my own. Now, the idea of Styx touring with Chicago is a major thrill all on its own. We can’t wait to spend the summer with them!
