Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo Announce Summer 2016 Tour With Melissa Etheridge

Two women who are among the most powerfully voiced in rock history are teaming up. Pat Benatar (with husband/guitar player Neil Giraldo) and Melissa Etheridge have announced a co-headlining tour that will take place this summer.

The dates, which are listed below, begin at the Beacon Theater in New York City on July 6 and will cover a good portion of the East Coast before they talk a break after the July 16 concert at the Chastain Park Amphitheatre in Atlanta. After a few weeks off, they will resume on Aug. 9 in Interlochen, Mich., and head west, concluding at the Northern Quest Resort & Casino in Airway Heights, Wash., on Aug. 27.

Both acts have shows on their calendar before they team up, so check Benatar / Giraldo's and Etheridge's websites for their respective itineraries, as well as complete ticket information and VIP packages.

For Benatar and Giraldo, it's a return to the road after last year's tour, which saw the couple celebrate their 35 years together. But they received a bit of a scare when Giraldo required emergency surgery to his left eye, which forced the few weeks worth of dates to be canceled.
