Kenny Loggins is embarking on a farewell tour. The 75-year-old musician, famous for his hit song “Danger Zone,” confirmed that his final tour, aptly titled the This Is It Tour, will begin on March 10 in Sarasota, Florida and will take Loggins concerts and festivals across the United States throughout 2023.
Reflecting on his decades-long career, which began in the ’60s when he formed the band The Second Helping, Loggins said, “It’s been an amazing journey since starting with Jimmy Messina in 1971, and I’m fortunate to have had such a long touring career.” As he now looks to embark on his farewell tour, the musician assured fans that this doesn’t mark the end of his career, sharing in a press release, “I don’t see this as the end of my professional career, but certainly a halt to the grind of major touring.” Loggins explained that “after spending a lifetime on the road, I want to have more time at home.”

The upcoming tour will chronicle Loggins’ “remarkable musical history with a brand-new, career-spanning stage show sure to thrill his loyal legion of fans,” per the release. Of the tour, Loggins teased that he will “be playing songs that I feel sum up the emotional story of my music. This will include 90 percent of the hits and 10 or so percent of the deeper cuts.”
