2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and husband / guitarist Neil Giraldo have rolled out a string of spring dates. The pair hit the road on April 12th at Port Chester, New York’s Capitol Theatre and winds things down three weeks later at Hollywood., Florida’s Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock. Benatar and Giraldo are already on-board to open for Pink for a dozen stadium shows next summer and fall.
Pat Benatar told us that she keeps her connection to both her fans and her music by staying on the road: “We play live all the time just to stay involved. Because, y’know, for people of our age group and genre and things like that, making records — I mean, it’s kind of ridiculous. I mean, it’s just. . . y’know, you’re not gonna get played on the radio. It’s not gonna happen, but there’s so many other ways to get music out there now, it’s good. But, it’s (playing for) people from our era is really the way to still stay in contact with the fans and everything, so that’s why we do it all the time.”
