Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo have added additional dates to their 35th Anniversary Tour plans including dates with Cher and also coheadlining dates with Rick Springfield."From the very beginning our chemistry was undeniable," said Neil Giraldo in a statement. "This is the driving force behind everything we do. After 35 years of playing together, we're looking forward to the summer tour and the future, which will surely be...adventurous."
The coheadlining dates will be the first time that Benatar and Springfield will hit the road together. Springfield said, "Although I first met Pat and Neil when Neil played on the original recording of Jessie's Girl in 1980 it took 35 years before we got together to tour. It should be one for the books."
