of musical excellence sharing the stage with Don at The Venetian. Can't
wait!!!”

in various situations has always been a blast, a smile fest, where the
joy of playing music is front and center. That's the way we do it in
STYX too, so you can see why we are all so excited to be coming together
for our first Las Vegas installation at The Venetian. Good friends,
good music, it's gonna a treat for us all!”
“I’m
so excited to be sharing the stage at The Venetian with my good friends
STYX,” said DON FELDER. “This is going to be one ‘ROCKING’ show in the
most ‘ROCKING’ city in the U.S. Come join the fun and party with STYX
and I this January. See you there.”
“We’re

STYX and DON FELDER take the stage in January,” said Bobby Reynolds,
