Todd Rundgren’s Utopia announce live release

In March last year, it was revealed that Todd Rundgren’s Utopia had reformed for a North American tour.

It was the first time the band had played across the US and Canada in 32 years and, to celebrate the 2018 tour, it’s been announced that a new live package documenting the shows will be released this spring.

It’s titled Todd Rundgren’s Utopia: Live At The Chicago Theatre, and it’s set to arrive on April 12 on Blu-Ray, DVD and 2CD.

Announcing the reunion, Rundgren said: “Within the time constraints, we are going to attempt to cover most of the significant moments that people would complain about if we didn’t.

“We have a list of songs. It’s not the official set list just yet – but a list of songs we’re pretty confident people would like to hear. I think we’re going to have a good time.”

Live At The Chicago Theatre is now available for pre-order and further details can be found below.

Rundgren, meanwhile, is gearing up for The Individualist world tour, which will get under way in Germany on April 1.
