Award-winning Finnish guitarist and blues artist extraordinaire Erja Lyytinen is pleased to announce her 50th Anniversary Rock Blues Birthday UK Tour in October 2026.
Lyytinen will celebrate her 50th Birthday by embarking on a special tour around the UK and Europe with a special celebratory setlist that will feature gems from Lyytinen’s vast repertoire since 2002. The guitar phenom will also perform songs from the latest studio album, Smell the Roses, along with some unexpected song choices.
The seven-date UK tour takes in Dudley, Lamp Tavern (Thursday October 8), Sedgefield, Parish Hall (Friday October 9), Edinburgh, La Belle Angele (Sunday October 11), Sheffield, The Greystones (Tuesday October 13), Oxford, The Bullingdon (Wednesday October 14), London, Half Moon (Thursday October 15), and Faversham, The Old Brewery Store (Friday October 16).
“I did my first tour in the UK with Blues Caravan back in 2006, so it´s been exactly twenty years now doing gigs on this music lover’s island,” reminisces Lyytinen. “I remember how exciting it was for a young girl to finally do my first UK tour back then. What I loved the most, was the fact that as native English spoken people, the audiences understood and related to my lyrics. The witty humor and friendly British people simply stole my heart.”
“This year I’m celebrating the big number of turning 50, but I still feel as that 15-year-old girl who fell in love to play electric guitar by listening to guitarists like Tony Iommi and Richie Blackmore and wanting to travel around the world to play for audiences. This year we have updated our set list with some old gems and surprise numbers, so it´s going to be a lot of fun to come to the UK for a birthday tour!”
