Styx - Kevin Cronin - Don Felder - Charlotte, NC 7-8-25

Tuesday, July 8th | PNC Music Pavilion | Charlotte, NC

On a balmy Tuesday night in Charlotte, three giants of classic rock lit up the PNC Music Pavilion with an unforgettable triple bill of the Brotherhood of Rock Tour: Don Felder (formerly of The Eagles), the Kevin Cronin Band and Styx. For fans of timeless rock anthems and show-stopping musicianship, it was a night to remember.

Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder opened the night with a tight, crowd-pleasing set that included classics like “Already Gone,” “Heartache Tonight,” and, of course, a show-stopping “Hotel California.” Felder’s smooth guitar work and easy charm reminded fans why his signature sound helped define a generation.

Next up, Kevin Cronin and his band delivered a full-throttle performance of Hi Infidelity in its entirety. From the opening “Don’t Let Him Go” to the heart-tugging “Keep On Loving You,” Cronin’s voice was sharp, and his stage presence electric.

Finally, Styx took the stage and raised the energy even higher with a complete performance of The Grand Illusion. Lawrence Gowan dazzled on keys and vocals, while Tommy Shaw's voice and guitar work were in top form. From “Come Sail Away” to “Man in the Wilderness,” the album's rich storytelling and intricate arrangements shone brightly live.
