Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo to Perform at Caesars in July

Pat Benatar will be performing at Caesars on Saturday July 2. Tickets are open for presale now and go on sale to the general public this Friday April 8 at 10:00am.

Purchase your tickets here! See more information about their tour below:

“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 rocks most memorable hits including: “We Belong,” “Invincible,” “Love Is A Battlefield,” “Heartbreaker” and many more! Don’t miss your chance to see this legendary rock duo live in concert!”

“Singer Pat Benatar and guitarist Neil Giraldo first met in a rehearsal room in 1979. Not only did the two hit it off romantically from the get-go, they discovered they were a perfect match musically as well. In the very same year they released In the Heat of the Night, which contained the duo’s first classic track Heartbreaker. More hits were to follow in subsequent years, including Hit Me With Your Best Shot, You Better Run and Love is a Battlefield, a run which garnered Benatar four consecutive Grammy Awards between 1980 and 1983.

Married since 1982, the husband-and-wife-duo have the kind of on stage chemistry that could only result from one of rock and roll’s greatest love stories. Whether backed by a full band or stripping things back for an intimate acoustic show, the pair command the hypnotized attention of their audiences, regaling them with tales of their vibrant career and life together in between soaring renditions of the songs that solidified their partnership.”
