Credit: Randee St. NicholasREO Speedwagon has joined the lineup of the 2018 A Taste of Colorado Festival, taking place September 1 to September 3 at Denver’s Civic Center Park. The veteran heartland rockers will headline the first day of the music and food extravaganza, along with George Thorogood and the Destroyers.

The three-day event is a free-admission festival held annually in downtown Denver during Labor Day weekend. It attracts more than a half-million people, and in addition to music, it also offers local and international cuisine, crafts and children’s activities.

VIP packages for the fest are available for purchase at AXS.com. Visit ATasteofColorado.com for more information.

Besides the Colorado festival, REO Speedwagon fans will have plenty of other opportunities to keep on loving the band this year, as the group’s 2018 tour itinerary features more than 50 shows.

REO recently launched a co-headlining tour with Chicago that’s mapped out through an August 12 performance in Clarkston, Michigan, and the band also has a run of fall U.S. headlining dates scheduled from a September 20 concert in Torrington, Connecticut, through a December 9 gig Deadwood, South Dakota.
