Both London shows will be held in April 2024
Joe Bonamassa, in association with J&R Adventures and N&P Touring, is pleased to announce two UK-exclusive concerts at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on Thursday, April 4 and Friday, April 5, 2024.
Pre-sales start Wednesday, September 27th at 9 am local time with the general on sale starting on Friday, September 29th at 9 am local time.
Backed by a stellar band of legendary musicians, the set list for this show will feature new songs alongside career-spanning favorites. By exceeding his own vertiginously high artistic goals, Bonamassa has shattered all expectations with 26 No. 1 Billboard Blues Albums, more than any other artist in history. Bonamassa’s career in the music industry has built steadily over the years and is only gaining more momentum.
The Royal Albert Hall shows celebrate the 15th anniversary since Bonamassa first played the Royal Albert Hall in May 2009, a momentous concert that changed his career overnight. The first time the bluesman played the Royal Albert Hall, he was joined onstage by Eric Clapton. From there, the rest is history.
“The Royal Albert Hall is a special venue for me personally,” Bonamassa says. “It’s the first venue that literally changed my career overnight. I always look forward to playing the venue because, not only is it a beautiful venue, but the staff are amazing, and the audiences are second to none. It’s always an emotional experience whenever I play the RAH.”
Bonamassa’s North American spring 2024 tour will include performances in historic venues like the Count Basie Center For The Arts in Red Bank, New Jerse on February 23rd and the Saenger Theatre in Pensacola, Florida on March 7th, before culminating with Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea IX, set for March 18-24, departing from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico. The festival line-up includes Grace Potter, The Marshall Tucker Band, John Oates, Jimmy Vivino, King King, and a special performance by Black Country Communion, Bonamassa’s supergroup with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian. KTBA at Sea is one of the largest fundraisers for Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive Foundation, aiding in its mission to promote music education by providing grants and resources to schools and musicians in need.
Bonamassa is set to release Blues Deluxe Vol. 2 on October 6th via his J&R Adventures. The album is a heartfelt tribute to the roots of his musical journey, breathing fresh life into classic tracks and encapsulating the blues genre’s evolution, and features two new originals and eight new covers spanning some of the most important names in the blues – from Bobby “Blue” Bland to Albert King.
