Celebrated and award-winning blues rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Joe Bonamassa has announced two very special nights at London’s world-famous Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th May 2026. The shows are presented by J&R Adventures and N&P Touring.
A 48-hour Planet Rock pre-sale begins at 10am GMT on Wednesday 1st October 2025 at PlanetRock.com, with general sale opening Friday 3rd October at jbonamassa.com/tour-dates, the Royal Albert Hall, and Gigantic.com.
Backed by his outstanding band, Bonamassa’s set will feature material from his latest album Breakthrough alongside favourites from across his career. The record has already become his 29th #1 Billboard Blues Album – more than any other artist in history – underlining his reputation as the leading force in contemporary blues.
Bonamassa’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. From early days as a prodigy to headlining arenas worldwide, he has consistently raised the bar. In recent months he has performed as a special guest for both The Rolling Stones, at Lumen Field Stadium in Seattle, and The Who, at United Center in Chicago, earning standing ovations from rock’s most demanding crowds.
“I am looking forward to returning to the Royal Albert Hall again,” says Joe. “This will be the 12th and 13th time that I will play this remarkable venue. It holds a lot of meaning in my heart. I can’t wait to entertain the crowds and play this historic venue again.”
For Bonamassa, the Royal Albert Hall is more than a venue – it’s a landmark of his career. These upcoming shows promise to be a celebration not just of his new work, but of his enduring bond with fans in the UK.
