A masterclass in blues-rock. A night you’ll never forget.
Few artists play with the fire, soul, and honesty of Walter Trout. For over five decades, this blues-rock titan has poured his heart into every note, channelling life’s highs and lows through that unmistakable guitar tone and a voice etched with experience.
In 2026, Walter returns to the stage—and this is not just another gig. It’s a celebration of survival, a howl of defiance, and a communion of souls brought together by the unbreakable spirit of the blues.
From tear-stained ballads to searing rock anthems, Trout’s live shows are raw, emotional journeys that leave audiences stunned. Backed by a world-class band and a lifetime of stories carved into every riff, he doesn’t just perform—he connects. Whether you’ve been with him since the Bluesbreakers days or are discovering him for the first time, this is your chance to witness a true icon in his element.
No filters. No gimmicks. Just real music, real stories, and real power.
Presented by The Gig Cartel
