What’s up with the new album?

At least throw us a bone or some scraps!

Word on the street they are waiting for the same day as Burtnik Plays Styx to release a single

That seems strange that Glen would have anything to do with the release of a Styx album. If anything it may be a coincidence that a single be released on the 30th which is a Friday at the end of May which is when they said something would be released a few month ago.

Not sure what is going on. Someone has brought up that a bunch of shows have been cancelled... poor ticket sales?

A little strange for the band to talk about the album, mention a track name, give us an approximate release time and then just go silent about it. Where's the hype, where's the excitement?!

Shows cancelled;

June 7 - Ridgedale, MO - Thunder Ridge Nature Arena
June 28 - Albuquerque, NM @ Isleta Amphitheatre
June 30 - Colorado Springs, CO @ Ford Amphitheatre
July 5 - Birmingham, AL @ Coca-Cola Amphitheatre

Aug. 1 - Dallas, TX @ Dos Equis Pavilion
Aug. 2 - Brandon, MS @ Brandon Amphitheater
Aug. 4 - Franklin, TN @ FirstBank Amphitheater
Aug. 6 - Richmond, VA @ Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront

Having KC as a co-headliner on the bill was a huge mistake. His name doesn't draw for these large outdoor venues.

There may be more to this.... if you look at the schedule they are in Houston on June 6th and were scheduled to be in Ridgedale MO on the 7th and in Charlotte NC on the 8th. They had them zig zagging all over the place. As for the August 1, 2, 4, and 6 dates. Those were all at the start of the second leg of the tour. It could be something needed to change due to scheduling for some reason. Just an observation.

Ill be at the Woodlands show in Houston. Their show there last summer with Foreigner & John Waite was FANTASTIC! We were on the lawn last summer but got good seats this go round. Hoping to hear a new song or two.

I'm considering going to this show also.

T-shirts for the summer tour. Interesting….

I saw Styx with REO & Loverboy ( who didn't play due to someone in the group or in their crew having Covid ) at the Woodlands 2 or 3 years ago. REO somehow was the headliner that night. Styx was GREAT as usual but REO was not. WE left before REO finished closing the show. Crazy thing was the only song that they really sounded good on was Back On The Road Again which is the only song Kevin doesn't sing lead on.
