Breakthrough and Beyond
Bonamassa’s latest album Breakthrough became his 29th No.1 on the Billboard Blues Album chart — a record-breaking feat that further solidifies his place as the genre’s most consistently successful artist. The album showcases Bonamassa’s ever-expanding musical vision, with explosive songwriting and intricate musicianship backed by a top-tier band.
The 2026 Royal Albert Hall performances will spotlight tracks from Breakthrough, while drawing from his vast catalogue that spans more than 51 releases across solo albums, live recordings, and collaborations with Black Country Communion and Rock Candy Funk Party.
A Home Away from Home
“I am looking forward to returning to the Royal Albert Hall again,” says Bonamassa. “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.”
This announcement follows his recent high-profile support slots for The Rolling Stones at Lumen Field Stadium in Seattle and The Who at the United Center in Chicago — a testament to his global recognition as one of the genre’s most electrifying live performers.
