The big announcement that Kansas promised on their website is a 40th anniversary Fan Appreciation Show on August 17th at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts in Pittsburgh.

In addition to a 35-piece orchestra, the band will be joined by original members Dave Hope, Kerry Livgren and Robby Steinhardt, marking the first time in 30 years that all six original members will have been on the same stage at the same time. The reason they chose to do this special show in Pittsburgh and not Kansas is because the Steel City was one of their earliest supporters.
