With their signature blend of classic tradition and modern edge, The Rocky Road Tour promises to be a vibrant showcase of Irish culture, energy, and musicality.

But it was their inclusion on the soundtrack of Sinners—the current #1 movie worldwide, starring Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler—that marked a defining moment in their global recognition. The film’s soundtrack, already topping international streaming charts, was curated by Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer, The Mandalorian, Black Panther), a long-time admirer of The High Kings’ distinctive vocal blend and musicianship. After attending their sold-out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this year, Göransson selected two tracks—“The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go”—to feature prominently in the film’s score.
The Rocky Road Tour 2026 will build on this global success, offering audiences a high-energy live show that reinforces The High Kings’ place at the forefront of Irish folk. With a renewed focus on storytelling, musicianship, and connection, the tour reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to honouring Ireland’s folk legacy while pushing creative boundaries.
As well as their recorded music triumphs, The High Kings have performed for hundreds of thousands across the globe and graced prestigious stages including Glastonbury Festival, The Isle of Wight Festival, Times Square, NYC, Trafalgar Square, London (St. Patrick’s Day) and many more/ Their live television appearances have spanned the U.S., with performances on Good Morning America, Good Morning LA, The View, and The Today Show.

Get the Led Out
2026-07-15 19:30 | Meyer Theatre, 117 South Washington Street, Green Bay, WI, 54301, United States
Get the Led Out returns to the Meyer Theatre in Green Bay, WI on July 15, 2026 at 7:30PM!
From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out (GTLO) have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin live, like you’ve never heard before. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal, GTLO re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album…GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage. No wigs or fake English accents, GTLO brings what the audience wants…a high energy Zeppelin concert with an honest, heart- thumping intensity.
Dubbed by the media as “The American Led Zeppelin,” Get The Led Out offers a strong focus on the early years. They also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever heard in concert. GTLO also include a special “acoustic set” with Zep favorites such as “Tangerine” and “Hey Hey What Can I Do.”
GTLO has amassed a strong national touring history, having performed at major club and PAC venues across the country. GTLO’s approach to their performance of this hallowed catalog is not unlike a classical performance. “Led Zeppelin are sort of the classical composers of the rock era,” says lead vocalist Paul Sinclair. “I believe 100 years from now they will be looked at as the Bach or Beethoven of our time. As cliché as it sounds, their music is timeless.”
A GTLO concert mimics the “light and shade” that are the embodiment of “The Mighty Zep.” Whether it’s the passion and fury with which they deliver the blues-soaked, groove- driven rock anthems, it’s their attention to detail and nuance that makes a Get The Led Out performance a truly awe-inspiring event!

Buddy Guy 90

Buddy Guy 90 appears at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, IL on October 16, 2026 at 7:30PM!
At nearly 90 years old, Buddy Guy remains a singular force in American music. Fresh off earning his ninth GRAMMY®
Award in 2026 for Best Traditional Blues Album (Ain’t Done with the Blues), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee
and one of the last living architects of electric blues will celebrate a historic milestone with the extended Buddy Guy 90
Tour, featuring newly added headline performances across North America in 2026.
Following his widely celebrated Damn Right Farewell and Damn Right Encore tours, Buddy Guy continues to defy
expectations, proving that the blues is not only alive — it’s thriving. The Buddy Guy 90 Tour honors a career that has
shaped generations of musicians while showcasing the fire, emotion, and authenticity that have defined his live
performances for more than seven decades.
Born in Lettsworth, Louisiana, and forged in the clubs of Chicago, Buddy Guy pioneered the explosive West Side sound
that influenced artists ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer. His
blistering guitar work, raw vocals, and unmistakable showmanship helped rewrite the language of electric blues, bridging
tradition and innovation in equal measure.
2025 made it clear that Buddy has no intention of slowing down. From a pivotal role in Ryan Coogler’s cultural
phenomenon Sinners to the release of Ain’t Done With the Blues, a critically acclaimed album produced by longtime
collaborator Tom Hambridge and featuring The Blind Boys of Alabama, Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Christone
“Kingfish” Ingram, and Joe Bonamassa. Released on his 89th birthday, the album reaffirmed what fans already know:
Buddy Guy is still creating vital, relevant music with urgency, grit, and soul.
The Buddy Guy 90 Tour offers audiences a rare opportunity to witness a living legend on some of the world’s most
storied stages, including the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. A celebration not
just of longevity, but of an artist who continues to perform with the passion and power that made him an icon, these
shows are a tribute to the blues, its past, its future, and one of its greatest champions.

Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.
The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.
