Legendary bands on joint tour to visit Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Two of the most successful and critically-acclaimed bands Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago have added dates to their Heart and Soul Tour 2.0.

The bands will perform on March 23, 2016, at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.

With more than 200 million albums sold and 20 Grammy® nominations between them, the tour will continue to provide unparalleled entertainment from two of America's most legendary musical groups.

Earth, Wind & Fire was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

"There's a saying that goes, ‘if it's not broken there is no need to change it," Indeed," says Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire. "The powerful magic of Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire works for both bands and fans alike. Here we go again."

In October 2015, Chicago received their first nomination to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since becoming eligible in 1994.

"I'm excited to be starting another leg of the Heart and Soul tour," says Lee Loughnane of Chicago. "Both bands are playing great and when we play together, the show rises to another level. Come see the concert. You won't be disappointed."

The tour's initial run kicked off on July 15 in Concord, Calif., and concluded on Sept. 6 in Atlantic City, N.J.. Fans in more than 25 cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Boston came out to wildly energetic, enthralling and critically-acclaimed shows.
