Boston have announced a US tour to mark the 40th anniversary of the release of their self-titled debut album.
The record launched in August 1976 and spawned three hit singles including More Than A Feeling. It went on to become the fastest-selling album in America for a US band, shifting 1 million copies in its first three months.
And Tom Scholz and co have scheduled a run of 14 dates to mark the milestone.
The band are running a competition, asking fans to design a “70s-inspired graphic” that captures the iconic spaceship cover artwork from the album.
The band say: “The winner will receive $1000 plus a pair of tickets and backstage passes to a show of their choice on this summer’s tour – plus their artwork will appear on some of Boston’s merchandise this summer.
“Two other artists will each receive a pair of tickets and backstage passes to a show of their choice.”
The shows will kick off in Florida on April 29 and tickets and competition details are available via the band’s official website.
