Kansas has announced fall 2026 headline tour dates that will begin in late September.
The 12 new concerts kick off Sept. 29 in York, PA and will run through Nov. 14 in Lansdowne, PA. An additional headlining date has also been added for June 24 in Albany, N.Y. Fan presale tickets will be available starting Wednesday (May 20) at 10 A.M. local time, using the code KANSASBAND.
General tickets will go on sale Friday (May 22). You can find more information at the band’s official website.
Kansas Already Has Big Summer Tour Plans
The classic rockers have a full schedule on tap and will be playing more shows with 38 Special starting June 5, reuniting a fan favorite pairing that played a number of concerts together in 2025. They’ll be joined for many of those dates by Brother Cane.
Starting in August, Kansas will team up with Deep Purple for more than 20 shows across the United States and Canada. Jefferson Starship will also perform at certain concerts.

Where Else is Kansas Playing in 2026?
In addition to the Pennsylvania dates, Kansas will also make stops in Texas, New Mexico, Iowa, New Jersey, Connecticut and more. These dates join what has already been a busy year for the band, who played their first concerts of the year in early January.
They’ve largely kept the road pedal to the metal since then and will finish off May with three headlining shows prior to starting the run with 38 Special.
Cofounder and drummer Phil Ehart (who is not currently touring with the group) recently released his memoir, I Am Phil.
