Van Morrison Announces Global Tour Featuring Classic Hits and Fresh Material from Upcoming Album
Legendary Northern Irish singer-songwriter **Van Morrison** has officially announced a **global tour** that promises to deliver a mix of his timeless classics and newly crafted material from his forthcoming studio album, *Remembering Now*, set for release later this year.
The tour, which kicks off in **June 2025**, will see Morrison perform across major cities in Europe, North America, and select locations in Asia and Australia. This marks his most expansive tour in over a decade, rekindling excitement among longtime fans and introducing new audiences to one of music’s most enduring and prolific artists.
Speaking in a rare press statement, Morrison said, *“I’ve been writing, recording, and reflecting a lot these past few years. This tour is about bringing the music—old and new—to life on stage. That’s where it all truly happens.”*
The setlist is expected to span Morrison’s extraordinary catalogue, from era-defining tracks like *“Brown Eyed Girl,” “Moondance,” “Domino,”* and *“Into the Mystic,”* to debut performances of songs from *Remembering Now*—an album which Morrison has described as a return to “emotive songwriting with a Celtic soul.” The new record is said to incorporate traditional Irish instrumentation with contemporary arrangements, reflecting a thematic exploration of memory, place, and personal transformation.
Industry insiders and early listeners of the album have described the new material as “poignant,” “spiritually resonant,” and “deeply autobiographical.” Tracks like *“Stony Road Home,” “Echoes in the Lane,”* and *“Remembering Now”* are expected to feature heavily in the upcoming performances.
The global tour will also include a series of intimate shows in historic venues such as **Royal Albert Hall in London**, **Beacon Theatre in New York**, and **Sydney Opera House**, alongside appearances at several international jazz and blues festivals. Morrison’s touring band—renowned for its musicianship—will accompany him, ensuring rich live renditions of both classic and contemporary material.
Tickets are set to go on sale this week via Van Morrison’s official website and select ticketing platforms, with early access offered to fan club members. Demand is expected to be high, particularly in key cities where Morrison’s recent one-off performances have sold out in hours.
As he prepares to step back onto the world stage, Van Morrison reaffirms his place not only as a pioneer of soul-infused rock and folk, but as a tireless artist still driven by musical curiosity and a desire to connect through song.
