Event details: Much anticipated reunion tour from the multi-platinum Boston rock band featuring Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Pat Badger and new drummer Kevin Figueiredo.

The Grammy-nominated band have released four studio albums to date, plus a greatest hits set. Selling over 10 million records worldwide on the strength of multiple world tours, the group achieved a No.1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1991 with More Than Words. Culled from their 1990 multi-platinum album, Extreme II: Pornograffitti, the disc also produced the Top 5 hit Hole Hearted and the single Get The Funk Out.

Although these two acoustic hits brought the band great mainstream success, they overshadowed the band's trademark sound: a mix of hard rock funk in the spirit and style of their predecessors in Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Queen and Van Halen. Fueled by Nuno Bettencourt's signature guitar flights and Gary Cherone's resonant vocals, the band's socially conscious lyrics set them apart from their peers. In 1992, the band was asked by Queen's Brian May to perform at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert. As the world watched, the band earned considerable credibility within and beyond the hard rock fraternity.
