Joe Bonamassa moves outdoor show due to torrential weather forecast
Blues-rock bastion Joe Bonamassa’s scheduled show at Hoghton Tower in Lancashire this Saturday (2nd July) is moving to an inside venue due to torrential rain.
Organisers have made the decision to host the show at Preston Guild Hall following torrential rain this week and in light of more ominous weather being forecast for Saturday.
The new 2,000 capacity venue is a mix of standing and unreserved seating. All Hoghton Tower tickets remain valid.
The gig is the first of Joe’s A Salute To The British Blues Explosion shows, which will see him pay homage to the music of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.
“If it wasn't for certain British musicians of the early 1960s, the Blues may well never have exploded into Rock music as we know it today, and indeed may have passed into history,” says Joe.
Support comes from fellow blues-rock sensation Joanne Shaw Taylor.
The stage times in Preston are as follows:
Joanne Shaw Taylor: 6.45pm
Joe Bonamassa: 8pm
