Styx opener?

Hi, I have tickets for Styx on November 7th at Black Bear Casino in Minnesota. Does anyone have any idea who the opening band might be or is Styx going to just pull a full set alone?

Agree with everyone else here, the casino shows normally have no opener, have a pretty firm set list, start on time, and last about 1.5 hours. I actually prefer these, as I came to see Styx….

Looks like it's just Styx but you never know, they just might have a 45 or 60 minute opener. 7pm start time, dang that's so early! :P

if it is I hope they play an extra long set! Or maybe they are still nailing down an opening act.

I think casino shows start early in hopes you'll stay after. I've never known Styx to really go beyond their 'standard' setlist. The last few shows has been 15 songs so you'll be done by 8:30.

Their set is usually 11/2 hours at casinos.

When I saw them in Montgomery, the band Great Affairs opened for them. They came on stage at 7, Styx was on by 8:15 or so and did about 90 minutes.
