Soft-rock hero Train is back in Tampa, this time with REO Speedwagon

Yacht Rock Revue opens the show.

Considering how Train had a guest spot on what turned out to be Daryl Hall and John Oates’ final single in 2018, it shouldn’t be too much of a shock that the soft-rock hitmaker is admired by one of the ‘80s’ most prominent yacht rock outfits.

If you missed out on hearing “Hey, Soul Sister” at a scorching-hot Florida Strawberry Festival last year, you’ve got another chance to experience that, but this time, alongside Kevin Cronin’s still-mighty wail in REO Speedwagon.

A yacht rock tribute band (no, really) opens.

Tickets to see Train play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Tuesday, Aug. 20 are still available and start at $36.
