Kansas, one of America’s iconic classic rock bands, is giving music lovers more shows for the highly anticipated 2026 headlining tour.
The five-piece band may be booked and busy this year with a series of shows, but they are surely ending 2026 with a jam-packed fall, unveiling a new run of headline dates.
From the initial 12-date trek, Kansas has added eight more shows across the U.S.
In October, the band will be performing in major cities in California, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota and Ohio.
The band, fronted by lead singer Ronnie Platt, will start the headlining trek by the end of September with two shows in Pennsylvania, with visits to Iowa, New Jersey, Connecticut and more before ending the headlining run in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.

Following their U.S. tour, Kansas is scheduled to be part of the Cruise to the Edge 2027 in Miami, Florida, in April as headliners alongside Asia, and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett.
Currently, the band is touring alongside Deep Purple on their North American concert series from August to September.
Joining them as opening act is Jefferson Starship on select dates.
On the other hand, outside the high-energy live concerts, the progressive rock veterans are busy with their solo endeavors.
Phil Ehart, the co-founder and the band’s longtime drummer, released his memoir, I Am Phil, in April 2026. It chronicles his life before the band and his journey of keeping Kansas together for over five decades.
“I didn’t want to write a book that hid behind mythology,” Ehart mentioned in a press release. “This is my story as I lived it—messy, meaningful, and real.”
