KANSAS: TOUR COMES TO THE BROWARD CENTER Sextuple-platinum to be performed in its entirety in final stop of the first leg of the tour

FORT LAUDERDALE – America’s preeminent progressive , Kansas performs its landmark album Point of Know Return in the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, December 15 at 7:30 p.m.

The tour features more than two hours of classic Kansas music including hit songs, deep cuts and songs never before performed live. Containing the smash hit and million-selling single “,” along with fan favorites such as “ (He Knew),” “Closet Chronicles” and “Paradox,” Point of Know Return became the band’s greatest selling album.

The concert at the Broward Center is the final stop on the first leg of the tour that premiered September 28 in . Kansas will be touring select cities in the United States and Canada next spring, expanding the celebration of the 40th Anniversary the hit album.

In 1977, KANSAS followed up the success of by releasing Point of Know Return, which peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s Album charts, reached sextuple-platinum status with more than six million copies sold and had three Billboard Hot 100 singles.

“After the success of the album Leftoverture, it was hard to imagine when we released Point of Know Return that this album would be even bigger, but it was,” comments Kansas guitarist, and original member, Richard Williams. “From the album artwork to the song ‘Dust in the Wind,’ the album Point of Know Return is really ingrained in rock and roll history and even in popular culture. For two years we played around 80 select shows performing the album Leftoverture in its entirety. We have been blown away by the positive fan response. Our hope is that fans will enjoy this Point of Know Return Tour just as much, and hopefully even more! So far, that has been the case and we hope to continue it!“

Kansas lead vocalist Ronnie Platt adds, “I often joke that I cannot be in charge of putting together a set list, because there are too many songs that I really want to perform. These shows, though, will be about as close as it gets. Of course, there will be hits like ‘,’ but to know we will be performing songs that Kansas has not performed live for twenty or thirty years, or even ever, that is just really exciting. It is going to be a lot of fun.”
