Music history will be made when DEEP PURPLE and ALICE COOPER, joined by special guest THE EDGAR WINTER BAND, visit 19 cities across America this summer on an epic rock tour. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will also serve as the "Long Goodbye" tour for DEEP PURPLE, and begins Saturday, August 12 in Las Vegas, with stops in Los Angeles, Boston, including Cooper's hometown of Detroit, and more.

Tickets go on sale Friday, February 3 at LiveNation.com and on the Live Nation app. American Express card members can take advantage of a special pre-sale opportunity beginning on Wednesday, February 1 at 12:00 p.m. local time.

DEEP PURPLE's studio album, "InFinite", is set for release April 7 via earMUSIC. Produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin, (PINK FLOYD, ALICE COOPER, KISS), "InFinite" features 10 new tracks recorded with no musical boundaries in the spirit of the '70s. The metal pioneers have released five studio albums since 1996, augmented by an abundance of solo work and special projects from members Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Steve Morse and Don Airey. Fans will be thrilled as they cover decades of favorites for this run.

Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo. Alice's catalog of hits and anthems, including "I'm Eighteen", "No More Mr Nice Guy", "School's Out", "Elected", "Poison", and others, are featured in his live show, along with a mix of newer songs and fan-favorite album cuts. Alice's touring band features the three-guitar attack of Nita Strauss, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, backed by longtime bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel.

Edgar Winter has been celebrated across the globe since his 1970 solo debut, "Entrance". With over twenty albums, top hits "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride", and numerous collaborative efforts to his credit, Edgar Winter has not been satisfied to ride the wave of popular music stardom. His music is always evolving and he is a master at stretching his skill and imagination to produce amazing results. He continues to thrill audiences with his live performances, always remaining on the cutting edge of music and style. Edgar is now at the very top of his game, and his future looks even brighter than his past.

Rock legends STYX and REO SPEEDWAGON, along with very special guest star Don Felder ? formerly of THE EAGLES ? will join forces for the "United We Rock" U.S. summer tour, which kicks off in Ridgefield, Washington on June 20. Produced by Live Nation, tickets for various cities will go on sale starting February 24.

STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON and Don Felder will be offering direct-to-fan access to the best seats in the house via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning Tuesday, February 21 at 12 p.m. local time, through Thursday, February 23 at 10 p.m. local time.

General onsale begins on Friday, February 24 at 10 a.m. local time.

Midwest rock heroes REO SPEEDWAGON and STYX have a rich touring and recording history together. In 2000, the bands recorded a live album and DVD called "Arch Allies: Live At Riverport" at Riverport Amphitheatre in Missouri. In 2009, the bands embarked on the "Can't Stop Rockin'" tour and marked the occasion with a single, "Can't Stop Rockin'", co-written by STYX's Tommy Shaw and REO SPEEDWAGON's Kevin Cronin. 2012 and 2013, REO SPEEDWAGON and STYX hit the road together with the wildly successful "The Midwest Rock ?n Roll Express" tour.

Most recently, in January, STYX and Don Felder shared the Las Vegas stage for an unforgettable five-night limited engagement, "Styx & Don Felder: Renegades In The Fast Lane", at The Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian Las Vegas. And, on the "Rock Legends" cruise in February, Don Felder invited REO SPEEDWAGON's Dave Amato up for an amazing performance of "Hotel California".

Said Cronin: "I called up Tommy Shaw last summer and we were both thinking the same thing: let's get the boys together, make some music, and have some fun. REO SPEEDWAGON and STYX together is a headfirst plunge into the fountain of youth, an unstoppable force of nature. Add the amazing Don Felder to the mix and it's a thundering slam dunk!"

Added Shaw: "Hitting the road with REO and Don Felder is gonna be an unforgettable evening of music for the fans and another chance to hang with these good time friends of ours who love the life as much as we do."

LINKIN PARK Announces 'One More Light' North American Tour With Special Guest MACHINE GUN KELLY


LINKIN PARK announced the "One More Light" world tour today via Genius, a first for both the genre-defying band and the lyric annotation platform.

Produced by Live Nation, the "One More Light" world tour, with special guest Machine Gun Kelly, kicks off July 27 in Boston, Massachusetts at the Xfinity Center.

In an effort to put tickets into the hands of real fans, first access to tickets for the "One More Light" world tour will be reserved exclusively for fans ? not scalpers or bots. The LINKIN PARK presale ? powered by Ticketmaster Verified Fan ? will utilize unique fan-first technology to level the playing field and ensure fans compete against other fans for tickets, not software. The more you participate, the higher your spot in line and the better your access to tickets. LINKIN PARK fan club (LPU) members will get priority, but anyone can work their way to the top.

Pre-sale begins May 9. Fans and LPU members can register for the tour pre-sale right now at presale.linkinpark.com. General on-sale is set for May 12.

LINKIN PARK will release its highly anticipated seventh studio album, "One More Light", on May 19 via Warner Bros. Records. The band's risky creative choices ? swinging wildly from song to song, album to album ? are a hallmark of their career, and "One More Light" is no exception. Their most personal to date, the album is built on the stories of six voices coming clean about their lives and struggles, as if it were the first time. "One More Light" isn?t bigger, louder, or more avant-garde ? it's more human.

The "One More Light" world tour set list will combine the biggest hits of LINKIN PARK's expansive career, as well as material from the new album, with all the intense high energy and passion the band is known for.

"Our fans know how much love we put into our live show," says guitarist Brad Delson. "They know how much we enjoy the connection when we play a fan favorite on stage. The emotional and sonic content of this new batch of songs is going to bring a whole new dimension to the show."

Every single full-priced ticket purchased for the tour includes a choice of a standard CD or standard digital copy of the "One More Light" album (a $10.99 value).

Also joining the tour in Boston, Philadelphia and Uncasville, is one of Japan?s most popular and electrifying live rock bands, ONE OK ROCK.

$1.00 from every full priced ticket sold on the tour will benefit Music For Relief, the charity foundation LINKIN PARK founded in 2005 to aid survivors of natural disasters and environmental protection.
