This marks a significant milestone for both bands, as they unite for an extensive run of shows, showcasing their collective musical prowess to audiences across the country.
Rockin’ in Paradise, which made its debut earlier this year, pays homage to Styx’s classic track “A.D. 1928 / Rockin’ the Paradise” from the iconic album “Paradise Theatre.” The song, which reached No. 8 on the Billboard rock chart, serves as the inspiration behind the event’s name, reflecting the band’s rich musical legacy. The inaugural Rockin’ in Paradise event featured an impressive lineup of artists including 38 Special, Cheap Trick, Loverboy, and John Waite, setting the stage for an unforgettable musical experience.
As Styx gears up for another exciting year filled with memorable performances and musical collaborations, fans can look forward to an unforgettable journey through the band’s iconic catalog of hits.
