Blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa has announced a new run of Spring 2027 U.S. tour dates, bringing one of today’s most celebrated live guitarists back to theaters and performing arts centers across the country. The tour begins February 12th at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, WI, and continues through March 13th at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre in St. Augustine, FL, with stops in Cleveland, Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, Charleston, Roanoke, Hershey, Syracuse, Albany, Richmond, Charlotte, and more.

A special Joe Bonamassa fan presale begins tomorrow, Tuesday, July 7th at 10 AM local time, followed by venue and Ticketmaster presales where applicable. The public on-sale begins Friday, July 10th at 10 AM local time. Fans can visit jbonamassa.com/tour-dates for tickets, presale access, VIP packages, and additional information.

The newly announced dates follow another major year of touring and recording for Bonamassa, who continues to build one of the most expansive and active careers in modern blues-rock. Following a packed 2026 schedule that includes major U.S. summer dates, a fall European tour, an appearance at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival, and sold-out destination events including Sound Wave Beach Weekend and his annual Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea, the 2027 Spring Tour will bring Bonamassa back to some of the country’s most beloved rooms for a full-scale evening of guitar-driven blues, rock, and soul.

The announcement arrives on the heels of Bonamassa’s 31st #1 Billboard Blues album release, The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork, a powerful live album and concert film celebrating the music and legacy of Irish guitar legend Rory Gallagher. Recorded during Bonamassa’s sold-out tribute performances in Gallagher’s hometown of Cork, Ireland, the project has already drawn major praise, with Guitarist Magazine writing that “Joe does his hero proud…a very fitting affectionate tribute to one of the most notable blues guitarists of our age.” Blues Matters called the release “one of the finest live albums ever produced,” while Powerplay awarded it a perfect 10/10, writing that “Bonamassa has captured Gallagher’s genre-defining influence and honored it with flawless perfection.” Order The Spirit Of Rory Live at Cork HERE.

The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork captures a deeply personal side of Bonamassa’s artistry, honoring one of his formative guitar heroes with a setlist rooted in Gallagher’s fiery blues-rock catalog and the spirit of the legendary Irish Tour ’74 era. The project includes the live video for “A Million Miles Away,” one of Gallagher’s most emotionally resonant songs, along with performances of “Walk On Hot Coals,” “Bullfrog Blues,” “Bad Penny,” “Tattoo’d Lady,” “I Fall Apart,” and more.

The release follows Bonamassa’s landmark B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, a 32-song tribute album honoring what would have been B.B. King’s 100th birthday. Produced with Josh Smith in partnership with the B.B. King Estate, the album features an extraordinary cross-generational lineup including Buddy Guy, Slash, Keb’ Mo’, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Paul Rodgers, Chaka Khan, Eric Clapton, Gary Clark Jr., and many others. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, marking Bonamassa’s historic 30th No. 1 album and further extending his record for the most No. 1 albums in the chart’s history. It also reached the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart.

Together, these projects underscore Bonamassa’s unique role as both a world-class performer and a steward of blues history, carrying forward the legacies of foundational artists while continuing to expand the language of contemporary blues-rock onstage and in the studio. His Spring 2027 U.S. Tour will give audiences another chance to experience that energy in person, with the precision, intensity, and emotional depth that have made him one of the most in-demand touring artists in the world.
