Where are they Now?

On the Road Again - 1999 Tour Dates!

However, you can also check out Pollstar's list of current Kansas tour dates. You can contact Pollstar via email at update@pollstar.com with new concert information. I encourage you to do this, as there are far more people who visit Pollstar's pages than visit these, and tour exposure is crucial for success.

You can also check out TicketMa$ter's list of current Kansas dates, though I doubt it will be much different than Pollstar's, and in the past Pollstar has been a little more willing to list update information than T$.

Note that this list is almost NEVER complete, so if you hear of a date that is not listed here, please let us know as soon as possible so we can add it. We'd hate for someone to miss a show because they didn't hear about it. If you have corrections/additions, etc., please send them to me!
