Styx’s performance with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has been moved to summer.

The band’s original April 19 date at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre will now take place at the venue at 8 p.m. June 21.

The show is part of the ASO's 75th anniversary celebration (although the ASO is also dealing with a list of its own postponements).

Styx has previously performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and in 2006, the band released an album recorded with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra of Cleveland.

Tickets for the new date start at $39 and are available at www.livenation.com.
