First, the duo will play Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre on April 12, Huntington’s The Paramount on April 13 and New Brunswick’s State Theatre on April 16.
Then, later in the year, the recent Rock Hall inductees are opening for Pink on her nationwide, stadium “Summer Carnival Tour.”

Pat Benatar new music
While the 70-year-old New York City native has stayed fairly active post-pandemic and toured in 2022, she and Giraldo haven’t put out any new songs since their 2020 single “Together.”
The mournful, four-minute piano ballad is clearly a reflection on the COVID-19 lockdowns as evidenced by the refrain “Distance will keep us together.”

Pat Benatar 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
On Nov. 5, 2022, Benatar and Giraldo cemented their place in Rock and Roll History when they were officially inducted alongside Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon.
At the raucous ceremony, Benatar sang “Love Is A Battlefield” live; a one-minute snippet of the performance can be seen below.
Neil Giraldo
Giraldo, 67, began playing with Benatar in 1979; the two were wed in 1982.
His contributions haven’t been minimal either — Giraldo produced both “Love Is a Battlefield” and “We Belong” and has performed on every single Benatar album.
In addition to collaborating with his wife, the guitarist/producer worked with Rick Springfield on the iconic 80s anthem “Jesse’s Girl.”
