The tour will feature a "fan friendly" pricing structure, according to a press release, with ticket prices as low as $13.50 available at most stops.

"Both bands have always tried to keep our ticket prices low so that none of our fans get left out. It's our own personal Rock 'n' Roll Stimulus package," said Styx's Tommy Shaw in a press statement. "It's been nine years since the Arch Allies tour and it just seemed like the right time to team up with our friends in REO and hit the road again."

In anticipation of the summer road trip, Styx and REO Speedwagon recorded a new single together, co-written by Shaw and REO's Kevin Cronin. The song, "Can't Stop Rockin'," will make its radio debut in March.

"The world is going through a weird phase, and everybody needs music now more than ever," added Cronin. "We all need to join our friends, pool our resources, combine our energies, because there is power in people coming together. That spirit has brought REO and Styx together to write, record and tour together, and celebrate it all with the greatest fans in America."

REO continues to support 2007's "Find Your Own Way Home," which marked the band's first collection of new material in more than a decade. The 10-track set, billed as a return to the power-ballad/melodic-rock-anthem glory days, has spawned the adult-contemporary hits "I Needed To Fall" and the title track.

Styx's latest release is 2006's "One With Everything," a live CD/DVD set that captures the band performing its hit songs with The Contemporary Youth Orchestra of Cleveland. The rockers' most recent collection of original studio material is 2003's "Cyclorama," and they also released 2005's "Big Bang Theory," which covers classic rock songs originally performed by artists including The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and The Who.
