Joe Bonamassa is back on the road in 2026, bringing his acclaimed live show to theaters, amphitheaters, and iconic outdoor venues across the United States. The 2026 US Summer Tour launches June 26 at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY — a venue with deep roots in American music history — and rolls through marquee stops including The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on July 31 and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO on August 8. Gov't Mule and JJ Grey & Mofro join on select dates, making this a blues and rock event of the highest order. Check the listings below for available tickets and dates near you.
Bonamassa has spent more than two decades cementing his place as one of the greatest living blues guitarists. He started playing at age four, was mentored by guitar virtuoso Danny Gatton at eleven, and opened for B.B. King at twelve — a trajectory that set the tone for an extraordinary career. Today, Bonamassa holds the record for the most number-one albums on the US Blues Albums chart with 28, and his catalog spans 17 studio albums, 20 live albums, and celebrated collaboration records with vocalist Beth Hart. His 2018 album Redemption, 2020's Royal Tea — recorded at Abbey Road Studios — and 2024's Live at the Hollywood Bowl with Orchestra showcase the breadth and ambition of an artist who refuses to stand still.
A Bonamassa concert is a masterclass in tone, feel, and storytelling. Whether he's reaching for a vintage Les Paul, a Stratocaster, or one of his prized boutique instruments, the musicianship is undeniable. His live shows blend deep blues tradition with hard rock intensity, drawing from his vast catalog and often featuring extended improvisations that keep even longtime fans on the edge of their seats. The 2026 summer run features some of the most storied outdoor venues in America — find your seats in the listings below before they sell out.
Born in New Hartford, New York in 1977, Bonamassa grew up steeped in the British blues rock records his father played at home — Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and the rest of the Bluesbreakers lineage. That early exposure shaped everything. By his early teens he was already playing professionally, and by his twenties he had carved out a reputation as a guitar player's guitar player. His tone has always been his calling card: warm, expressive, and capable of going from whisper-quiet intimacy to searing intensity within a single solo. Browse the listings above for tickets to see it firsthand.
Bonamassa has a long track record of choosing his venues carefully, and the 2026 summer dates reflect that. Bethel Woods — built on the site of the original Woodstock festival — carries a spiritual connection to the roots music Bonamassa champions. The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles is one of the West Coast's most beloved amphitheaters. And Red Rocks, nestled in the Colorado Rockies, is widely considered the greatest outdoor concert venue in the world. Bonamassa has previously performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London to standing-room crowds, and each of those shows became landmark recordings in his live discography.
