More dates will be announced soon, but the couple will make notable stops in cities like San Diego, Las Vegas, Nashville and Baton Rouge over its first batch of shows.
The tour will begin at the Jackson Rancheria Casino in Jackson, California on April. 10. Five consecutive California shows are scheduled before it heads to the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on April 18. Midwest and Northeast dates are then scheduled through mid-May before the tour heads south through July 1, when it wraps at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, North Carolina.
Benatar and Giraldo exploded onto the pop music scene with 1979’s album In the Heat of the Night. Since then, Benatar has released 11 more studio albums alongside her husband guitarist. The couple married in 1982, soon after they were distinctly named the first female vocalist and guitar player featured on MTV.
A CD/DVD package will also be featured on the concert tour. Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo: The 35th Anniversary Tour, features 14 of the couple’s biggest hits, including “You Better Run” and “Heartbreaker”.
