On May 26th, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Live At The Orleans Arena Las Vegas from Styx on DVD, Blu-ray, CD, and Digital Formats.
Filmed in High Definition on July 25th, 2014, Live At The Orleans Arena Las Vegas is a sonic showcase of Styx’s live prowess and razor-sharp musicianship.

The evening also held a special surprise when Don Felder – former Eagles guitarist – took the stage to join the band on “Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)”.

Styx have checked in with the following update:
"There were plenty of highlights for Styx during last year's The Soundtrack Of Summer Tour with Foreigner and Don Felder. But chief among those was the return of “Light Up”, a fan and radio favourite from 1975's Equinox album, to the show. That will be chronicled on Live At The Orleans Arena Las Vegas, the band's new AXS-TV concert special debuting 8 PM, EST on March 15th."Watch the exclusive sneak peek below:
Check out “Renegade” from the upcoming broadcast below:
Def Leppard returns to the road this summer for an extensive North American tour with Styx and Tesla. The Live Nation-promoted tour, hitting nearly 50 cities across the US and Canada, will kick off on June 23rd in Tampa, FL at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre. Tickets are on sale via LiveNation.com.
“Our 2007 tour with Def Leppard forged a friendship that's never wavered,” proclaims Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw. “It was such an unforgettably fun experience for us. We've all been waiting for the planets to align so we could do it again. Well friends, they have indeed aligned! And this time, those soulful bad boys from Sacramento, Tesla, will be there, too. What a night of music this will be! Is summer here yet? Come on!”Guitarist James “JY” Young is equally as excited: ”The mutual admiration society between Styx and Def Leppard began in the UK in 1978 when Joe Elliott attended Styx's first-ever performance in Def Leppard's home town of Sheffield, England,” he says. “Both bands having emanated from working class beginnings, either on the South Side of Chicago, or the Steel Town of Sheffield, England, there is a natural camaraderie and synergy amongst them. I feel like these guys are long-lost brothers of mine. It's going to be Guitars A-blazin' and Drums A-poundin' regardless of who’s on the stage, featuring arguably the most successful rock band of the late 1980's, paired with one of the most successful bands of the late 1970s, early 1980s. The ingestion of too much sugar can lead to illness, but “Pour Some Sugar On Me” is a recipe for healthy smiles and a fun night for everyone!!!”
