Why this matters

A full-album performance of a triple-platinum, Top-10 classic is catnip for classic-rock fans. Pieces of Eight delivered “Renegade” and “Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)” and helped define Styx’s late-70s arena era. Hearing the record start-to-finish, then a hits set, turns this into a destination run for 2026.

What was announced

Styx will play Pieces of Eight in its entirety during a five-show Las Vegas engagement at The Venetian Theatre. Confirmed dates are January 23, 24, 28, 30, and 31, 2026.
