Ritchie Blackmore reveals 2027 tour after fending off health issues
Ritchie Blackmore plans to return to touring with Blackmore’s Night in March 2027, after health problems forced the band to abandon its previous tour in late 2025. The six-show run marks a return to live performances and coincides with the medieval folk project’s 30th anniversary.
Blackmore said severe migraines and vertigo left him vomiting, dizzy and unable to stand in Newton, New Jersey, in November 2025. The new dates begin there on 6 March, then continue to Port Washington, Norwalk, Woodstock, Suffolk and Englewood. Tickets go on sale from 7 November, except for Port Washington, where sales begin on 9 November.
In short
- Blackmore’s Night will play six shows in March 2027.
- The tour follows Blackmore’s recovery from migraines and vertigo.
- The dates mark the project’s 30th anniversary.
