Styx
2025 Tour

Alpharetta Ameris Bank Amphitheatre pulses with 2025 energy as Styx tears into “Come Sail Away,” Tommy Shaw’s soaring vocals and Lawrence Gowan’s keys lifting 12,000 fans into a nostalgic frenzy. A lifelong devotee from Atlanta clutches her vintage "Grand Illusion" tee, eyes gleaming as the chords spark memories of youth. “Styx is my heartbeat—they never fade,” she cheered, swept up in the night’s electric tide. That timeless fire ignites with Styx Tour 2025, launching May 28 in a yet-to-be-announced U.S. city, joined by Kevin Cronin and Don Felder. The rock veterans, celebrating their 2025 album "Circling From Above", hit 15 cities, from Charlotte (July 8, PNC Music Pavilion) to Syracuse (July 14, Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater) and a hypothetical London stop (August 10, O2 Arena).

A Thunderous Blend of Prog and Power

Styx concerts are a high-octane ritual, their 2025 Moline set a testament to their unrelenting spirit. Shaw’s fiery riffs, Gowan’s theatrical keys, and James “JY” Young’s grit, backed by Todd Sucherman’s drums and Ricky Phillips’s bass, forge a sound that’s both epic and raw. Here’s what 2025 delivers:

• Epic Setlist: Per 2025 Moline, expect “Lady,” “Too Much Time on My Hands,” and "Circling From Above"’s new cuts. The full "Grand Illusion" may shine in select shows, echoing their 2025 Las Vegas residency vibe.
• Band’s Swagger: Gowan’s spins and Shaw’s fist-bumps, like 2025 Charlotte’s crowd love, spark chaos. “They’re ageless,” a 2025 Raleigh fan raved.
• Star Guests: Kevin Cronin and Don Felder co-headline, per Charlotte’s lineup, with openers like Gowan’s solo act adding flair.
• Rock Spectacle: Laser lights and video screens, lauded in 2025 Virginia Beach, amplify the energy, though some Syracuse fans noted muddy bass in upper seats.

From Chicago to Rock Royalty

Formed in 1972 in Chicago, Styx—Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman, Ricky Phillips, and Chuck Panozzo—blended prog-rock and pop with 1977’s "The Grand Illusion" (triple-platinum). "Paradise Theatre" (1981) and "Kilroy Was Here" (1983) delivered hits like “Renegade” and “Mr. Roboto,” selling 35 million albums worldwide. Their 2025 album "Circling From Above", their 18th, builds on "Crash of the Crown" (2021), earning "Classic Rock Magazine" praise. With 1 million Instagram followers and a 2025 Miramar Beach festival (October 9–11, with Loverboy and Cheap Trick), Styx legacy thrives. This tour, fueled by 25 years of friendship with Cronin, is a victory lap for classic rock.

Styx concerts are a joyous rebellion, each riff a nod to rock’s golden era. A 2025 Moline fan said, “Styx brought my youth back!” Here’s why 2025 rocks:

• Vocal Power: Shaw’s “Come Sail Away” soars, per 2025 Charlotte’s cheers.
• Fan Love: Gowan’s high-fives, like 2025 Raleigh’s front-row moment, make arenas feel like bars.
• Timeless Energy: New tracks and “Fooling Yourself” blend eras, moving 2025 Virginia Beach fans.

• Defiance: “Renegade” and “Blue Collar Man” roar, sparking 2025 Charlotte’s fist-pumps.
