Van Morrison

On 18 June 2026, Van Morrison and his band take the stage at the Metropol Theater Bremen. The Northern Irish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has for decades blended soul, folk, blues, jazz and Celtic traditions into his own distinctive sound. The material ranges from his early days with Them and "Brown Eyed Girl" to "Astral Weeks" and "Moondance", pieces he repeatedly re-examines in performance. Between compact R&B numbers and longer, more meditative passages, he shifts tempos, stretches phrases and allows room for improvisation. The band keeps the grooves warm and open so that his voice — shaped by gospel and loose in its timing — can breathe. The set often features classics like "Gloria" or "Moondance", alongside later songs up to "Moving On Skiffle"; standards and originals are frequently rearranged, with nuances drawn from rhythm and blues and jazz. The result is a flowing concert arc that rethinks the repertoire in the moment — at the Metropol Theater Bremen on 18 June 2026.
