The Vindys are getting ready to team up with Metal Queen Lita Ford for Rock the Rich Center. The annual concert benefits the Rich Center for Autism. This year, they’re highlighting “Women Who Rock,” but the focus remains on the autism community.

Ford will headline the show and will be joined on stage by the Vindys. Vindy’s lead singer, Jackie Popovec, is excited to return to the stage for the third-straight year, tag-teaming with Lita Ford.

“Electric” arrives as The Vindys prepare to launch their second consecutive tour alongside Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, beginning April 18 in Tulsa, OK, opening a series of shows spanning 26 cities, including Austin, Memphis, Baltimore, and two dates in Canada.

After a successful nationwide tour as the opening act for Pat Benatar, a Youngstown band is going back on the road for an East Coast tour.

Youngstown’s popular rock-n-roll band The Vindys will once again be touring with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. The Benatar plus Giraldo Spring Tour 2025 was announced Tuesday. As was the case last summer, The Vindys will open for them on 24 of their 25 stops.

Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo invited The Vindys back for an encore. The Youngstown band will open for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees for a 26-city tour running from April 18 through June 1. Last summer The Vindys opened for Benatar and Giraldo on a 22-city trek that was the group’s first cross-country tour.

The Vindys had planned to work on a new album in the summer of 2024.

Instead, the band got an offer it couldn’t refuse — joining Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldoon a national tour over the summer, including a gig at Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park in Indianapolis.

Who are the Vindys? I had no idea when I showed up on a hot July night to see newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo.

Lita Ford, former Runaway and Ozzy Osbourne collaborator, and Youngstown’s The Vindys will play a benefit show for the Rich Center for Autism at Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre.

The director and the screenwriter are Australians, but could anything be more quintessentially Youngstown than a movie featuring The Royal Oaks, The Vindys and a Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini cameo?

It’s not often that it’s possible to pinpoint the exact moment an act wins over a crowd. For The Vindys on Wednesday at MGM Northfield Park, it was during the song “Morning Light.”

The Vindys have built a rock-solid word-of-mouth reputation over the past decade, captivating audiences with their unique blend of rock, soul, and pop.
