Final Show Announcement
REO Speedwagon has conducted their farewell show under their iconic name – check out the complete setlist and recording of their last performance below.
Decision to Retire
In September, REO Speedwagon revealed their intention to cease touring by the end of the year due to “irreconcilable differences” between lead singer Kevin Cronin and bassist Bruce Hall, which left them “heartbroken.”
Earlier this month, Cronin expressed his desire to continue, stating, “I didn’t want to stop REO Speedwagon… I just got outvoted and… I have to discontinue calling it REO Speedwagon by year’s end.”
On December 20 and 21, the band performed their final show at The Venetian Theater in Las Vegas, marking the end of the REO Speedwagon name. At the event, Cronin remarked, “The REO Speedwagon name will be retired tonight.”
“However, the music, the spirit, and the songs of REO Speedwagon will endure with me as Kevin Cronin. We hope you’ll accompany us on this journey.”
The concert set was divided into two segments: the first featured the full performance of the 1980 album “Hi Infidelity,” and the second included a series of celebrated hits.
