Two Female Rock Icons Share Stage Together For First Time Ever
New York, NY --- (May 11, 2009) For the first time ever, two pioneering rock legends, Blondie and Pat Benatar, will share the stage on the Call Me Invincible tour. They will be joined by special guests The Donnas. They will embark on a trek across the U.S., beginning in Saratoga, CA on July 21st and ending August 23rd in Houston, TX. The Blondie and Benatar ticket gives fans of all ages three decades of hits from the two female rock icons for the price of one!
Says Blondie front woman Deborah Harry, "Pat Benatar is not only a friend, but a fearless female rocker who has entertained me and her wealth of fans for so many years. This will be a reunion for us both and being able to bring our two shows to fans across the country is very exciting!"
Between Blondie and Benatar, the tour will feature songs from a combined ten Platinum albums, eight #1 Hits and countless other favorites including "Heart of Glass," "Heartbreaker," "Call Me," "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Rapture," "Invincible," "One Way or Another" and "Love is a Battlefield."
Pat Benatar adds, "Deborah and I have been friends forever. I'm thrilled that we're finally getting an opportunity to tour together, it should be a blast."
The tour also showcases original artwork created by New Orleans artist, Tim Neil. His unique design will be the recognizable image of the tour featuring the clever blending of both iconic faces and will also be available for purchase on select merchandise items.

Inside Bay Area: Deborah Harry reigns supreme at Blondie's San Francisco show
Posted by Louis A Bustamante at 2/26/2009 03:18:00 PM
"Blondie performed its songs at a breakneck punk clip, punching out most offerings at right around three minutes. But what was most impressive was how well the eclectic mix of sounds jelled. That's because the band gives each song a highly distinctive musical stamp, a kind of glamorous gloss that might not work for any other lead singer.
Harry was astoundingly energetic throughout the night, jumping about on her tall heels during 'Call Me' and commanding the microphone with 'Rapture.' The latter, the tune that introduced millions to rap-sung lyrics, was a particular pleasure as Harry and the sold-out crowd shared the still-fun lead vocals."
