REO Speedwagon and Chicago will trek across the country this summer, including a July 14 stop at Verizon Amphitheatre.

Each band will play a full set, with Chicago performing its “Chicago II” album in its entirety, followed by what they jokingly call the “world’s longest encore.” REO Speedwagon will present its trove of hits, such as “Time for Me to Fly,” “Take it on the Run” and “Roll with the Changes.”

Tickets for the Atlanta show are $29.50-$99.50 and will go on sale at noon Feb. 9 at www.livenation.com and the venue box office.
