Radio pop? Check. Florida frequents? Check. Co-headlining at a sports arena?
…What?
Legendary 80s duo Daryl Hall and John Oates haven’t fallen apart since their coming together in 1970. With hits such as Maneater, Rich Girl, and Kiss On My List, these two college mates have topped the charts a number of times. Usually, they’re in smaller venues. But knowing the act coming along with them, there’s no way that Ruth Eckerd Hall wouldn’t sell out almost immediately.
Train, another small (ish) venue group, have been in Florida as recently as last May. Original lead singer Pat Monahan may be the only original member left, but the Calling All Angels sensations tour almost non-stop. And it doesn’t look like they’ll be stopping anytime soon, knowing their youth.
So, let’s do something crazy, they thought. Let’s team up with a fellow pop group.
Hall & Oates and Train, along with another unannounced guest, have just announced their 2018 tour dates, and one stop is in Tampa. They will rock Amalie Arena on June 22, 2018. Tickets go on sale next week, primarily on LiveNation, with prices starting at a whopping $15.
Even if you’re not a pop fan, you likely won’t regret going to this show. And whomever that third guest may be, this will probably be one of those concerts you’ll reminisce about for years to come.
