KANSAS Are Officially Back on the Road for Their 2026 U.S. Tour

Veteran progressive rock legends KANSAS have officially launched their 2026 U.S. tour, hitting the road this week for an extensive winter run that stretches from Florida to the Pacific Northwest and back through the Midwest and East Coast.

The tour kicked off January 9 in Pompano Beach, Florida, and continues through late February with a two-night stand at Island Resort & Casino in Harris, Michigan (February 27–28), before the band heads into a mix of international dates, cruises, and select spring and early summer U.S. appearances.

Despite lineup shifts over the past year due to health and personnel changes, KANSAS remain a well-oiled live machine, still delivering the songs that made them icons — including “Carry On Wayward Son,” “Dust in the Wind,” “Point of Know Return,” and more.

Current Touring Lineup

The current touring lineup features:

  • Ronnie Platt — vocals, keyboards

  • Tom Brislin — keyboards, vocals

  • Zak Rizvi — guitar

  • Joe Deninzon — violin, guitar

  • Dan McGowan — bass, vocals

  • Eric Holmquist — drums

  • Scott Bernard — guitar (touring for founding member Rich Williams)

Founding members Rich Williams and Phil Ehart remain official members of the band but are not appearing on this run as they continue to focus on their health.
