Info
Van Morrison returns to the stage on October 8, 2026 at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, with his characteristic blend of soul, folk, blues, jazz, and Celtic tradition. Born in Belfast, he first came to prominence in the mid-1960s as the singer of Them, where his R&B phrasing left its mark on tracks like 'Gloria'. As a solo artist, he followed up in 1967 with 'Brown Eyed Girl', then opened a more interior field with Astral Weeks and Moondance, two touchstones for understanding his way of balancing tightly crafted songs with longer, freer, almost meditative passages. On stage, Van Morrison often plays with formats: a voice that moves between gospel, improvisation, and blues-tinged accents, flexible grooves, and a repertoire that draws from a rich discography, from 70s classics to his more recent albums. After notable collaborations, notably with The Chieftains or John Lee Hooker, he continues to move forward without a clear rupture, keeping that taste for rhythm and song as his main language.
