Few guitarists have done more to keep the blues-rock tradition alive than Joe Bonamassa. A true guitar prodigy who opened for B.B. King at just 12 years old, the New York-born musician has spent decades building a career around blistering guitar work, soulful vocals and an unwavering respect for the blues legends who came before him.
Bonamassa has become one of the biggest names in contemporary blues, earning multiple Grammy nominations and an extraordinary run of No. 1 albums on the Billboard Blues chart. Yet despite his enormous success as a recording artist, the stage remains where his music truly comes alive. His concerts combine virtuoso musicianship with the raw power of classic blues-rock, making every performance a showcase for his unmistakable guitar tone and dynamic playing.
His 2026 European tour brings Bonamassa back to Germany for a series of major autumn shows. Following the spring leg of his German tour, the guitarist returns in October for three more arena concerts, taking in Rostock, Berlin and Dortmund. The tour also gives German audiences the chance to hear material from his latest album, Breakthrough, live.
The final German date promises to be a major highlight. On 31 October, Joe Bonamassa takes over the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, bringing his full-scale blues-rock spectacle to one of Germany’s most renowned concert venues. With his trademark combination of soaring solos, muscular riffs and deeply rooted blues feeling, it is set to be an evening where the guitar takes centre stage.
