Kansas has a full summer tour planned, with shows alongside 38 Special starting June 5. The two bands performed together in 2025 and will reunite for several dates this year, joined by Brother Cane on select shows.

In August, Kansas will join Deep Purple for more than 20 concerts across the United States and Canada. Jefferson Starship will appear at some of these dates.

Kansas will also play shows in Texas, New Mexico, Iowa, New Jersey, Connecticut and other states. The band began touring in early January and will finish May with three headline shows before the run with 38 Special.
