Coming to Pacific Amphitheatre:

Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo with Ann Wilson from Heart
Aug. 31, 2022, 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $45-$85

Pat Benatar’s staggering vocals and take-no-prisoners attitude, along with Neil Giraldo’s trailblazing artistry as a guitarist, producer and songwriter, forged the undeniable chemistry and unique sound that created some of rock’s most memorable hits including “We Belong,” “Invincible,” “Love Is A Battlefield,” “Promises In the Dark,” “We Live For Love,” “Heartbreaker” and “Hell Is For Children.”

Together they have created two multi-platinum, five platinum and three gold albums, as well as 19 Top 40 hits. They have sold more than 30 million records worldwide and have won four consecutive Grammy awards. Their rock and roll love affair has endured for more than three and a half decades. They’ll headline a special post-Fair performance on Aug. 31, with support from Ann Wilson from Heart.

Wilson’s latest album, Fierce Bliss, offers universally entertaining, engaging, honest and safe harbor from these unpredictable times. It is classic rock comfort food of the finest ingredients. One of the premier hard rock vocalists of all-time, Wilson smashed boundaries with her band Heart, the eight-times platinum, 35 million-plus selling Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trailblazers who formed in 1973.
