The Grammy-winning blues sensation returns with Ash Grunwald and 19-Twenty in tow for a killer lineup.
Blues guitar sensation Christone “Kingfish” Ingram is heading back to Australia and New Zealand in 2026, and if his sold-out 2025 run was anything to go by, you’ll want to move fast on this one.
Catch up on all the latest news here.
The Hard Road Tour celebrates Ingram’s new album of the same name, a record that reimagines the blues for a new generation by fusing it with rock, funk, R&B, and soul. Produced by longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge alongside Patrick “Guitar Boy” Hayes and Nick Goldston, it’s his most ambitious work yet and marks the debut release on his own label, Red Zero Records.
At just 26, Kingfish has already shared stages with legends including Buddy Guy, Jason Isbell, and the Rolling Stones, while headlining major festivals worldwide. Rolling Stone dubbed him “a rare 21st century guitar hero and the undisputed future of the blues,” and his live show backs up every bit of that hype.
Blues powerhouse Ash Grunwald joins the full Australian run and festival favourites 19-Twenty are jumping on board for the Melbourne and Sydney dates.
Tour dates:
- 25 Feb: The Triffid, Brisbane
- 26 Feb: The Green Room, Byron Bay
- 28 Feb: Harmonie German Club, Canberra
- 1 Mar: The Forum, Melbourne (with 19-Twenty)
