The summer is looking up as legendary band Boston kicks off 48 North American dates on their Hyper Space Tour in April at the Hard Rock Live in Florida. Always a huge crowd-pleaser with their high-energy stage show, other-worldly sound, and exceptional musicianship, BOSTON performs a totally live show, delivering an extraordinary experience, faithful to their studio recordings.
The Kansas Expocentre along with V100 is thrilled to welcome BOSTON to Landon Arena on Sunday, June 4! Tickets are on-sale NOW at The Kansas Expocentre Box Office and Ticketmaster.
It’s been over 40 years since BOSTON’s self-titled debut album first hit and turned the world on to a new kind of sonic experience. With over 17 million copies sold, their hits “More Than a Feeling,” “Peace of Mind,” “Foreplay/Long Time,” and “Smokin’,” are rock staples that are still in heavy rotation today. Their second album, Don’t Look Back was another chart-topper that confirmed their place in rock history, followed by Third Stage, which hit #1 on the charts, with the top single of 1986, “Amanda.” Walk On, Corporate America, and Life, Love & Hope complete the band’s discography. With over 31 million albums sold to date, BOSTON has stood the test of time.
Unlike most bands at the time, all of BOSTON’s albums were conceived in a basement, written, produced and recorded by Tom Scholz, an MIT graduate who designed specialized equipment to capture the songs that he heard in his head. Scholz created his music with the intention of playing it live, in real time with real musicians, making it one of the few bands in history to reproduce seemingly-impossible-to-perform productions on stage, without the use of prerecorded music or technical enhancements.
The timeless songs appeal to young and old alike, so it’s not surprising to see concert audiences that span generations. Fans can expect to hear the classic songs they have grown to love, and will be treated to wild Hammond organ work, soaring guitars, and exceptional vocal harmonies, as well as BOSTON’s unique visual stage presentation, from mind-blowing lightning bolts and spectacular lights to an interstellar “journey” from the cockpit of the BOSTON spaceship, along with plenty of extra-terrestrial sounds heard nowhere else on earth.
Continuing their effort to promote humane treatment for animals, one dollar from each ticket purchased this summer, will be donated to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, who are committed to ending the slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans, as well as Mercy for Animals, who utilize a broad range of strategic approaches that seek to expose cruelty, prosecute abusers, and inspire consumers to make compassionate food choices.
