Air Supply brings 'A Matter of Time' to Westbury

With their first new album in 15 years and a 50th anniversary to celebrate, the soft-rock duo plays Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair on Sat, Nov 14.

Somewhere in the Bronx and Queens there are people who can still sing every word of the songs that played on the car radio when they were kids, and Saturday, Nov 14, is their night. Air Supply plays Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair on Sat, Nov 14, at 8 p.m. Tickets are through Ticketmaster.

This isn't simply a greatest-hits stop. The duo is on the road behind *A Matter of Time*, which Visit Pittsburgh's listing for the tour describes as their first new album in 15 years. Venues on the run also tie it to a milestone: the tour celebrates the band's 50th anniversary as a duo, a point picked up from Guatemala to Australia and New Zealand, where a separate anniversary tour begins in December.

That means a set that does two jobs at once: a fresh record that proves they're still writing, and fifty years of songs that a theater full of people already know by heart. Few acts get to stand on stage half a century in and play brand-new material to a crowd that still shows up.

The tour has been rolling all year. It played the Palace Theatre in Greensburg, Pa. in July, and this month it works its way down the East Coast. Westbury lands in a busy stretch: Boston on Nov 5, the Lehigh Valley Nov 6, Washington, D.C., on Nov 13, the Jersey Shore the night after Westbury, then Orlando — where the Dr. Phillips Center has them on Nov 19 — and Jacksonville's Florida Theatre on Nov 22. The run keeps going into 2027, with a January stop at Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach already on the books.

Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair holds 2,800, which is about as big a room as you'd want for this kind of show. These are songs built for singing along together, and a theater that size lets everyone in the building feel like part of the chorus without losing sight of the stage.

For readers in Queens and the Bronx, the trip out to Westbury is part of the evening. Plan for traffic on a Saturday night, leave room for parking, and aim to be in your seat before the 8 p.m. start.

What to know: Saturday, Nov 14, 8 p.m., tickets through Ticketmaster. It's the kind of show people bring their parents to — or their grown kids — so if you're buying for a group, buy together.

Fifty years is a long time to keep a band together. Westbury gets to help them celebrate it.
