Chris de Burgh - 50LO

Chris de Burgh returns solo to celebrate 50 years of songs, with a stop in Gatineau on March 20, 2026 at the Casino Theatre. An Irish singer-songwriter, he has built a pop-rock repertoire of carefully crafted narratives, ranging from ballads to chronicles of everyday life. 2026 also marks the 40th anniversary of “The Lady in Red,” a song that defined his career and has reached audiences around the world.

This tour accompanies the release of his album 50, a record conceived as a retrospective on his favorite themes, carried by his voice and songwriting. On stage, Chris de Burgh favors an intimate setup, well suited to the stories and melodies that have become his hallmark, while weaving in more recent songs to connect the eras.

Canada holds a special place in his journey, one of the first countries to throw wide open the door to his music. This engagement in Gatineau is part of that enduring bond—an opportunity to encounter a seasoned songwriter who revisits his classics and continues to write what comes next.
