(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents KC and The Sunshine Band - Doin' It World Tour 2025 on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at 8:00pm. KC and The Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 50 years ago.

Harry Wayne Casey—KC for short—developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string of hits like "Get Down Tonight," "That's The Way (I Like It)," and "Shake Your Booty."

With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy® nominations, three Grammy® Awards, and an American Music Award, KC and The Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the '70s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music. Today, KC and The Sunshine Band play over 100 live shows annually, circling the country and playing dates regularly throughout Europe, Australia, and South America.

 Tickets start at $70 and are available for purchase online or by calling State Theatre Guest Services at 732-246-SHOW (7469). State Theatre Guest Services, located at 15 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick NJ, is open by phone and email only, Tuesday through Friday from 11:00am to 5:00pm. For in-person purchases, Guest Services is open Tuesday through Friday from 12:00pm to 4:30pm. Additional ticket and transaction fees may apply.

After major renovations, State Theatre New Jersey celebrated its 100th Anniversary in December 2021 in a fully renovated theater. Originally built as a silent film and vaudeville palace, State Theatre's historic significance was honored by PBS by featuring it in its documentary series, Treasures of New Jersey, in the fall of 2018. "Treasures of New Jersey: State Theatre New Jersey" can be streamed online.
