Due to doctor’s orders, REO SPEEDWAGON is regretfully forced to reschedule their shows tonight at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan and tomorrow night at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, as a result of a severe flu that REO guitarist Dave Amato is experiencing. The rescheduled dates are officially confirmed for Friday, May 21st at 8pm at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, and Saturday, May 22nd at 8pm at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan.  Tickets purchased for the shows this weekend will be honored for the rescheduled dates. If you cannot attend the rescheduled dates, tickets may also be refunded at the point of purchase.

“Dave is one of the true rock warriors and, if he could, he would absolutely be on stage this weekend,” said lead singer Kevin Cronin.  “As much as we hate to postpone these concerts, we have to respect doctor’s orders. The truth is that we know both of these shows would be packed with some of our most loyal fans; and we would not be able to do our best for you guys under these conditions.”
