Chris de Burgh 50LO

On April 1, 2026, Chris de Burgh plays the Molson Canadian Centre in Moncton. A British-Irish singer-songwriter born in Argentina, he grew up across several countries before settling in Ireland, where he shaped a narrative take on pop rock and soft rock. From his mid-70s beginnings with Far Beyond These Castle Walls and Spanish Train and Other Stories, his songwriting has focused on voice, melody and story. The 80s brought The Getaway and Man on the Line, then Into the Light with The Lady in Red, a track that anchored his visibility. The next decades expanded the catalogue with Flying Colours, Power of Ten, Quiet Revolution, The Storyman and, more recently, The Legend of Robin Hood.

On stage, he moves easily between full-band energy and intimate settings, keeping attention on the song itself. In Moncton, expect a set that spans ballads, folk-tinged tales and pop rock pieces drawn from across his discography, with space for newer material alongside long-standing tracks.
