This will come off harsh, but let's call a spade a spade.
The Runaways weren't very good, and never had success. They only got noticed because they were chicks. And to some, attractive at that.
The asking fee for this show will be low, but promoters figure there are enough thirsty middle aged men to at least break even.
Yes, Joan and Lita had some solo success, which they can also ride the coattails of.
Some of these groups at least have the one hit they can play as an encore. I couldn't name one Runaways tune.

Ch ch ch ch ch ch Cherry Bomb! Not sure what it's about. Never ever heard that until Sludge. It’s a fucking terrible 70’s bubblegum teen song. Fuck this band. I absolutely despise them.

Dazed and Confused was a yuge movie in the 90s. “Cherry Bomb” was on the even yuger soundtrack. The nostalgia wave from that sparked the Runaways second lease of life, leading to Currie’s book and eventually the movie.
Prior to that, they were a band for Lester Bangs disciples, rock critics and nerds. Like Captain Beefheart, good for name dropping, but not good for listening to.
Although, unlike Captain Beefheart, rock critics and nerds could jerk off to their band photos.

They were shit. They did spawn a hall of fame cover artist! And a skanky C level rocker.
But Cherie Currie can fuck right off!
