Chris de Burgh 50LO

British-Irish singer-songwriter Chris de Burgh marks 50 years of music with a Canadian tour in 2026. In Hamilton at FirstOntario Concert Hall on March 14, 2026, he pares things back for a solo set that leans on the storytelling pop-rock that has defined his catalogue since the mid-70s. Expect an intimate journey through the songs that shaped his trajectory — Spanish Train, Don’t Pay the Ferryman, A Spaceman Came Travelling, Patricia — alongside selections that show his taste for ballads, folk shades and narrative detail.

The Lady in Red also takes a bow, celebrating its 40th year, folded into a set built around voice, melody and the craft of songwriting. Long at ease on stage in both full-band and stripped formats, de Burgh presents these tracks in their most direct form, giving space to the lyrics and the characters that run through his records. An occasion to hear the hits and the stories they carry, in a focused, up-close setting.
