Celebrates 90 Years with a Tour
July 6th, 2026 by Joey Clark
Buddy Guy isn’t throwing in the towel just yet folks; he’s back on the road to celebrate his 90th birthday with a full North American tour! We thought the bluesman had used the 2024 Damn Right Farewell Tour as a poignant way of announcing his retirement from the road.
Thankfully, it seems that you can’t hold back the nine-time Grammy Award winner as he pushed on to do the Damn Right Encore tour just last year. I think it’s safe to say we can all appreciate the change of heart from the seasoned musician.
Age does not seem to faze the legend from Louisiana in the slightest. Guy can often be witnessed performing flawlessly one-handed on his signature, polka dot Stratocaster in the middle of a crowd – all as he takes a shot of his favorite indulgence, a shot of cognac.
Guy is also continuing to rack up awards in his later years as his ninth Grammy was awarded just this year for his 20th studio record, “Ain’t Done with the Blues.” Talk about a man who won’t quit!
Guy’s tenacity and passion for music is nothing short of awe inspiring.
From humble beginnings working the cotton fields in his youth and learning guitar on a two-stringed diddley bow, to becoming a pioneer in blues and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recipient, one of a select few musicians to be a Kennedy Center honoree, Buddy Guy is truly one of a kind.
Don’t miss your chance to witness this legend in person!
The 30-date tour will span the course of three months and he will stop in SoCal at the Hollywood Bowl on September 9th, and The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego on September 11th.
