The tour will take X and Los Lobos to cities that have never seen them together before, including Denver, Salt Lake City, Santa Ana, Toronto, Detroit, and many more.
X has a long and storied history, with the band forming in 1977 and quickly establishing themselves as one of the best bands in the first wave of LA's flourishing punk scene. They have released several critically acclaimed albums, topped the musical charts with regularity, and performed on top television shows such as Letterman and American Bandstand. The band's first two studio albums, "Los Angeles" and "Wild Gift," are ranked by Rolling Stone among the top 500 greatest albums of all time.
