The one and only TODD RUNDGREN is hitting the road again, folks! The legendary producer, songwriter, and guitar god is embarking on a US tour, because apparently, his music is still totally relevant today.
The “Still Me (Still We)” tour is a continuation of his “Me/We” Tour from last year, because who needs a break when you’re a rockstar? As TODD RUNDGREN himself says, “The show is kind of a story with a message. Even though a year has passed I still think the story needs to be told.” You can bet it’ll be a wild ride with a guy who’s been in the industry since the ’60s.
The tour kicks off on June 21 at the Park Theatre in Cranston, Rhode Island, and wraps up on July 27 at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida. You can get your tickets starting April 15 at 10 AM ET with the code “VICTORY25”, and the general public can buy ’em on April 16 at 10 AM local time.
TODD RUNDGREN’s band for the tour is a talented bunch, featuring GIL ASSAYAS on keys, BRUCE MCDANIEL on guitar, the legendary PRAIRIE PRINCE on drums, BOBBY STRICKLAND on horns, and KASIM SULTON on bass. Yep, that KASIM SULTON who’s been around the block a few times, having played with TODD RUNDGREN back in the UTOPIA days.

TODD RUNDGREN has been making music since the ’60s, starting with his band THE NAZZ, and then going solo with his debut album Runt. But it was his 1972 album Something/Anything? that really put him on the map, with hits like “I Saw The Light” and “Hello It’s Me”. He’s also worked with some big names like PATTI SMITH, CHEAP TRICK, and MEAT LOAF.
In the ’70s, TODD RUNDGREN formed TODD RUNDGREN’s UTOPIA, which later became just UTOPIA, and they were known for their progressive rock sound. Some of their standout albums include Oops! Wrong Planet and Adventures in Utopia.
TODD RUNDGREN is a total Renaissance man – he’s not just a musician, but also a producer, composer, and tech innovator. He’s worked on albums by XTC, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, and HALL AND OATES, and has composed music for films and TV shows like PEE WEE’S PLAYHOUSE. He’s even been awarded honorary doctorates from the Berklee School of Music and DePauw University.
TODD RUNDGREN has been pushing the boundaries of music and technology for decades, with innovations like the first interactive TV concert in 1978, the first live nationally broadcast stereo radio rock concert, and the world’s first direct artist subscription service, PatroNet, in 1998. He’s also produced some pretty cool stuff, like the world’s first full-length concert shot with multiple Virtual Reality 360º cameras in 2016.
