Legendary Rock Band Kansas to Play the Paramount October 18th

‘Carry On Wayward Son’, ‘Point of Know Return’, ‘Dust in the Wind’, ‘Song For America’ and ‘The Pinnacle’ are just a few of Kansas’ all time favorites.

Celebrating their 40th year as a band in 2013, KANSAS’ first public statement appeared on their self-titled album in 1974. “From the beginning, we considered ourselves and our music different and we hope we will always remain so.” Little did this legendary rock group realize that back in the early ‘70′s, what seemed to be “different,” was actually ahead of its time.

This “garage band” from Topeka released their first album in 1974 and went on to have produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show) and a million-selling gold single, ‘Dust in the Wind.’ KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70′s and ‘80′s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums world-wide. In fact, ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ was the #2 most Played Track on classic rock radio in 1995 and #1 in 1997.

Coinciding with the celebration of their 40th anniversary, the band KANSAS, in June 2013, was inducted into the Kansas Historical Hall of Fame.

Along with touring, KANSAS continues to remain a fixture of Classic Rock radio and has reached a whole new audience through their unmistakable presence on the popular video games Rock Band and Guitar Hero, and through their songs inclusion in various television shows such as Supernatural, and South Park, and with films Old School and Anchorman.
