Entertainment around the area
Air Supply, whose self-titled debut album arrived 50 years ago this December, leads the entertainment highlights coming to local and regional venues over the next couple of weeks.
The pop/rock duo, whose 18th studio album “A Matter of Time” hit streaming and digital services on Oct. 2, plays the State Theatre. The new set marks Air Supply’s first studio album since 2010.
Meanwhile, two acts recording even longer than Air Supply — Alice Cooper and Chicago cofounder Lee Loughnane — perform at Wind Creek Event Center. Both musicians released their first music in 1969, with Loughnane standing as the only original Chicago member performing with the band.
Meanwhile, the Mahoning Drive-In Theater holds its final two events of 2026, with the Halloween Dusk-to-Dawn Scare-A-Thon closing out the season.
