Joan Jett playing benefit at the Cap after Heart/Cheap Trick tour

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are currently on tour with Heart and Cheap Trick, hitting NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Saturday (9/10) (tickets) and continuing for another two weeks. (If you haven’t, read our review of the Bethel Woods show.) After that tour, Joan has a couple other appearances scheduled.

One is a return to the NYC-area for a benefit show on November 5 at the Capitol Theatre. The show benefits the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Family Services of Westchester and also features Christina Bianco, George Porter Jr., Brandon “Taz” Niederauer, and more to be announced. Since it’s a benefit show, tickets are pretty expensive, starting at $125.

The other is the Melissa Etheridge Cruise, which sets sail from Key West. All dates are listed below.
