The forthcoming UK tour follows hot on the heels of Joe’s critically acclaimed studio album Blues of Desperation, and will feature Joe alongside a hand-picked group of world-class musicians.

Bonamassa has played alongside such artists as Stephen Stills, Eric Clapton, Blondie Chaplin, Foreigner, Buddy Guy, Steve Winwood, Warren Haynes, and Derek Trucks among others - as well as opening for blues icon B.B. King when he was just 12 years old.

Bonamassa has released 15 solo albums through his independent record label J&R Adventures, 11 of which have reached number one on the Billboard Blues charts.

In addition to his music career, Joe Bonamassa runs a non-profit organization called the Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation, that aims to further music education by funding scholarships and providing music education resources to schools in need.

Joe Bonamassa will appear at Birmingham's Genting Arena on March 16, 2018. Tickets for the show go on sale at 9.00am on July 14.
