Chris de Burgh 50LO

Chris de Burgh, British-Irish singer-songwriter known for narrative pop and soft rock, takes the stage at Kingston Grand Theatre in Kingston on March 17, 2026. Since his 1970s debuts, he has shaped a catalog built around storytelling, clear melodies and voice-forward arrangements, with songs that travel from intimate ballads to more electric textures.

The set draws across decades: early pieces from Spanish Train and Other Stories and The Getaway, the mid-80s period with Man on the Line and Into the Light, and later work like The Storyman and The Legend of Robin Hood. The Lady in Red remains a landmark in his repertoire, but the show looks wider, tracing characters, places and romances that run through his writing.

Born in Argentina and long based in Ireland, de Burgh has made the stage a steady extension of his studio work. In concert, the focus stays on the song and the narrative thread, letting arrangements serve the stories. This date in Kingston offers a straightforward, career-spanning dive into his melodic songwriting.
