Anticipating Styx’s 2026 Rockin In Paradise Cruise

l Q&A session. The presale for the event begins today, giving fans the opportunity to secure their tickets early and potentially be one of the lucky 250 who get to experience a private Styx soundcheck.

In addition to Rockin’ in Paradise, Styx has a jam-packed schedule for 2026. They have headlining shows scheduled throughout January, as well as from February through April and again in June. During a series of January shows in Las Vegas, Styx will treat fans to performances of their multi-platinum Top 10 album “Pieces of Eight,” along with other fan-favorite hits.

But that’s not all – Styx will also be joining forces with other legendary classic rock bands in 2026. In May, they will share the stage with Cheap Trick for five dates. Both bands released new albums in 2025 – Styx with “Circling From Above” and Cheap Trick with “All Washed Up.” This tour follows Cheap Trick’s All Washed Up Tour, which spans the U.S. from January through April.

Furthermore, Styx will team up with Chicago for the Windy Cities Tour – All the Hits … Your Kind of Tour, running from July to September. Despite both groups originating from the Chicago area, this tour marks the first extensive collaboration between the two iconic bands.

Rockin’ in Paradise, held earlier this year at Seascape Resort, takes its name from Styx’s classic track “A.D. 1928 / Rockin’ the Paradise” from their hit album “Paradise Theatre.” The song, which reached No. 8 on the Billboard rock chart, sets the tone for this nostalgic event. Notably, the first Rockin’ in Paradise featured an impressive lineup including 38 Special, Cheap Trick, Loverboy, and John Waite.

Styx fans have plenty to look forward to in 2026 with a diverse range of events and collaborations on the horizon. It’s clear that the band’s enduring appeal and iconic sound continue to captivate audiences, making each performance a must-see experience for fans of classic rock. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as Styx prepares to rock the stage in the coming year.
