The Heart and Soul Tour 3.0 was confirmed on June 17, and it will for the first time bring this powerful co-headlining bill to Canada. The fall 2016 tour is scheduled to kick off from the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y., on Oct. 19, and at least 15 more cities will host the tour before it wraps up in the middle of November. Other stops scheduled for the trek include Providence, R.I. (Oct. 22), Manchester, N.H. (Oct. 26), Montreal (Oct. 28), Winnipeg, Manitoba (Nov. 2), Vancouver (Nov. 7), and Sioux Falls, S.D. (Nov. 11). The trek will come to a close on Nov. 13 at the Rimrock Auto Arena in Billings, Mont.
The most recent Earth Wind and Fire album was “Holiday,” which was released in 2014. There’s no word on whether the band will release an album of new music in the future, but so far it appears the group is primarily focusing on live ventures.
Considered one of the longest running and most successful pop/rock ‘n’ roll groups in history, Chicago is the highest charting American band in Billboard Magazine’s list of Top 100 artists of all time, coming in at #13.
Lifetime achievements include a Grammy Award, multiple American Music Awards, elected as Founding Artists to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Chicago street dedicated in their honor, and Keys to and Proclamations from an impressive list of US cities.
Formed in 1967 in Chicago, the “legendary rock band with horns” released their first album “Chicago Transit Authority” in 1969. Since then, they have had record sales top the 100,000,000 mark, and include 21 Top 10 singles, 5 consecutive Number One albums, 11 Number One singles and 5 Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 36 albums have been certified platinum, and the band has a total of 47 gold and platinum awards.
In 2014, their debut album “The Chicago Transit Authority” was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame. This was followed by announcement of their 2014 summer tour with REO Speedwagon, a televised performance on the 2014 Grammy Awards CBS broadcast, and the release of “NOW” Chicago XXXVI in July 2014.
