Joe Bonamassa Announces Return To Aus Later This Year

The dust has barely settled on the massive long weekend that was Bluesfest 2016, but blues rock legend Joe Bonamassa has already announced that he'll return to our shores later this year for an extensive national run.

Taking in his very first performance at the Sydney Opera House, Bonamassa will have his newest record Blues Of Desperation front and centre, though it'll be another chance to hear some older tracks from the 38-year-old's healthy catalogue of 20 solo albums.

The tour will be the best place for punters to catch Bonamassa at his finest, as the guitar slinger played two Bluesfest shows (on Saturday and Monday) and no sideshows this time around.

Joe Bonamassa will kick off the tour in Perth on Sunday, 25 September, before heading to Brisbane's QPAC, Sydney's Opera House, Adelaide's Thebarton Theatre and Melbourne's Palais Theatre when it all wraps up on Wednesday, 5 October.
