Kevin Cronin Winds Down Touring Operation After Brotherhood of Rock Tour

He cites the inability to book dates without the REO Speedwagon name as the reason for scaling back to occasional performances.

Overview

  • Cronin will end the Kevin Cronin Band’s full touring operation after the Brotherhood of Rock Tour concludes in Milwaukee on August 24.
  • Longtime crew members announced they will be available for other projects beginning September 1 due to the tour’s dismantling.
  • Cronin says that losing the REO Speedwagon name makes it financially unfeasible to maintain a regular touring band under his own name.
  • He plans to focus on one-off events such as private and charity shows and has confirmed a date aboard the Rock Legends Cruise in February 2026.
  • Cronin intends to complete his memoir and indicates he might consider a full REO Speedwagon reunion further down the road.
