Some married couples work together.
Pat Benatar and her husband Neil Giraldo take it a step further.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees announced they’re hitting the road once again to deliver their hits like “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Love Is A Battlefield” and “Heartbreaker” at venues all over North America from May through August as part of their ‘Fantastic 2024 Tour.’
Along the way, the lovebirds will make five (!) New York and New Jersey stops.
First, they’re slated to drop into Atlantic City’s Ovation Hall at Ocean Casino Resort on Saturday, July 6.
After that, the pair swings into Red Bank, NJ’s Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre on July 7, Bethel, NY’s Bethel Woods Center For The Arts on July 21 and New York City’s Beacon Theatre on July 23.
Finally, Benatar and Giraldo close their NY/NJ run at Lewiston, NY’s Artpark Outdoor Amphitheater on July 24.
For those that can’t wait to sing along with the ’80s icons live, tickets can be secured as soon as today.

Pat Benatar new music
While the 71-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, 68, 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.”
