Leonid & Friends Launch Fall 2025 Tour with Boston Cruise Kickoff; Unveil 2026 U.S. Dates

Leonid & Friends, the internationally acclaimed 11-piece tribute to the band Chicago (and more), launch their Fall 2025 North American tour today with a special kickoff aboard the On The Blue Cruise: “Forever Autumn” departing from Boston. This unique cruise performance sets sail August 22–29 and marks the start of the band’s most extensive tour to date. The coast-to-coast “2025 or 6 to 4” Tour will span over 20 U.S. states (after a spring leg that included Canada) and culminate in Leonid & Friends’ first-ever concerts in Hawaii. Running from late August through mid-November, the tour will bring the group’s jaw-droppingly accurate recreations of Chicago’s greatest hits to more cities than ever, delivering an unforgettable live music experience to fans across the continent.

This fall trek follows a wildly successful spring tour, during which Leonid & Friends sold out venues nationwide and made their inaugural Canadian appearances to rave reviews.

“As a newly inducted Grammy voting member, I am honored by the recognition from my peers in the industry,” nhà sáng lập Leonid Vorobyev, người đã thành lập ban nhạc ở Moscow. “We were overwhelmed by the love and energy on our spring dates, and we can’t wait to do it again – even bigger this fall. Touring across North America to share this music we love is a dream come true. We never expected such an amazing response from U.S. fans, and we cannot wait to see everyone on this tour.”

Originally formed as a studio project, Leonid & Friends skyrocketed to international fame when their note-perfect video covers of Chicago songs went viral online – even earning praise from members of Chicago themselves. With over 1.2 million followers across social media and an astonishing 300 million+ video views to date, the group has become a true touring powerhouse renowned for capturing the spirit, musicality, and fire of Chicago’s classic hits. Their live shows are a stunningly authentic tribute – complete with a tight horn section, rich vocal harmonies, and the “rock & roll soul” that defined the originals. Audiences can expect to hear Chicago’s timeless anthems like “25 or 6 to 4,” “Make Me Smile,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” and many more – plus a few surprise renditions from the band’s expanding ’70s repertoire (now including songs by Earth, Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Ides of March, and others). Each performance is more than a tribute concert – it’s a joyous celebration of the music that defined an era.

With multiple sold-out shows around the globe and an ever-growing fanbase, Leonid & Friends are making history with this ambitious itinerary. For the first time ever, the band will perform in states such as Louisiana, New Mexico, and Utah, before a grand finale of back-to-back shows in Honolulu, Hawaii. It’s the most comprehensive North American run the group has ever undertaken, underscoring their mission to connect with fans in as many places as possible. Given Leonid & Friends’ track record of packed houses, fans are strongly encouraged to secure tickets early for all dates. Don’t miss your chance to experience what millions have discovered online – the pitch-perfect sound of Leonid & Friends bringing Chicago’s legendary music to life on stage!

In response to overwhelming demand, Leonid & Friends is also extending their tour into 2026. Today the band is unveiling a first round of 2026 U.S. concert dates (see below), ensuring that this extraordinary musical celebration continues into next year. Promoters and venues are invited to join the momentum as the group’s popularity soars; several 2026 shows are already booked from Florida to the Northeast, with more to come.
