Boston to Perform at Center for the Arts

Published on March 28, 2016

Forty years after its debut album took the music world by storm, the legendary band Boston will bring its iconic songs to the Eastern Kentucky University Center for the Arts.

As part of its 40th Anniversary Tour, Boston will perform at the Center on Thursday, May 26, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, ranging from $45 to $125, will be available to the general public beginning Friday, April 1, at 10 a.m. The presenting radio station is 100.1 WKQQ.

Boston’s self-titled debut in 1976 has sold more than 17 million copies, on the strength of such hits as “More Than A Feeling,” “Peace of Mind” and “Smokin’.” Its follow-up release, “Don’t Look Back,” cemented their place in rock history, and their third recording, the space-themed “Third Stage,” also topped the charts and featured another major hit in “Amanda.”

A news release announcing the EKU concert proclaimed: “Fans can expect to hear all the classic songs they have grown to love. Boston prides itself on performing a totally live show without the use of pre-recorded music or technical enhancements, delivering the extraordinary sound that is faithful to their studio recordings.”

Tickets will be available at the EKU Center Box Office or at EKUCenter.com. Pre-sale for members of the Friends group at the EKU Center begins Wednesday, March 30, at 10 a.m.
