Legendary Rock Band “Cheap Trick” Set to Rock The Paramount in Huntington on Tuesday, October 21, 2025

HUNTINGTON, NY – One of America’s most enduring rock bands, Cheap Trick, is headed to The Paramount in Huntington this fall, bringing more than five decades of classic hits, energy, and arena-sized attitude to Long Island’s intimate downtown stage. The performance is set for Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 7:30 PM, with Olive Vox joining as the opening act.

Known for their razor-sharp riffs, witty lyrics, and power-pop hooks, Cheap Trick have spent nearly 50 years defining what it means to be both radio-friendly and relentlessly authentic. From the timeless “I Want You to Want Me” and “Surrender” to the hard-edged “Dream Police,” their catalog remains a master class in melodic rock that still resonates across generations.

The Huntington stop is part of the group’s current U.S. tour, which kicked off earlier this year and continues through late fall. The tour comes amid renewed interest in the band’s storied career, fueled by their recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the anticipation of a new album, All Washed Up, expected to feature the single “The Riff That Won’t Quit.” For Long Island fans, it’s a rare chance to see the Rockford, Illinois natives in an up-close venue that has hosted everyone from Joan Jett to Billy Idol.

Cheap Trick’s concerts are famous for mixing nostalgia with high-voltage showmanship. Audiences can expect both the hits that made them legends and deeper cuts that show off the band’s musical range — from glam-influenced rock to Beatles-esque harmonies. Guitarist Rick Nielsen’s playful onstage antics and Robin Zander’s still-powerful vocals ensure that no two shows ever feel the same.
