Let’s groove tonight…and in a few months.
Earth Wind and Fire just announced they’re striking out on a 2025 tour that will send them to venues all over North America from June through August.
As of now, it appears the R&B hitmakers don’t have any East Coast dates lined up for the summer. Rather, they’ll be sticking to the West Coast and Midwest on their 22-concert run.
Notable stops include a three-night stint at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl from July 2-4, the Cincinnati Music Festival on July 25 and Detroit’s Fox Theatre on Aug. 2.
“We can’t wait to dance with you!” the band shared via Instagram.
If you’ve never attended an EWF show — and can make one of their gigs this summer — you needn’t worry about whether or not they still have the goods.
In a review of a 2024 co-headlining gig with Chicago, Pioneer Press raved “Earth Wind and Fire delivered an evening of hits and deeper cuts with a timeless elegance that made hearing classics like ‘Shining Star’ and ‘Fantasy’ feel every bit as fresh as the day they were released.”
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Earth Wind and Fire shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, Jan. 31.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
