When does van Morrison tour?
Northern Ireland native Van Morrison Tickets, who scored with such songs as “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Domino,” and “Wild Night,” is 77 years old yet continues to tour. Morrison is famous for his high-voltage concert where he croons his popular classics with intensity and fervor, sometimes backed up by a huge orchestra. It should be noted that at this point in his career, Van Morrison does not embark on large-scale world tours as he used to do in his early years, but rather goes on tour for some months in the year.
Morrison began 2023 with a mini-residency at the London Palladium, performing five concerts in nine days. The shows were a success and Morrison impressed the critics with her voice and endurance. The songs which were performed were from his most current album which is What’s It Gonna Take? released in 2022. , featuring tracks from his incredible 50 years of music as well as the classics. He was accompanied by guest artists on some nights such as guitarist Jay Berliner.
Following the London shows, there are more shows planned for February and March at the Austin City Limits Live Theater in Austin, Texas. Afterward, he has more spring US shows scheduled in May & June which will include Atlanta, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston, and other cities on the East Coast. These shows will probably include his entire touring band with two guitarists, keyboards, bass, drums, saxophone, and backing vocalists.
In summer, Morrison also tours different music festivals like the British Summer Time Hyde Park in London and the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Last year he performed headline shows to mark his 60th, 61st, and 62nd birthdays in Belfast and at the Hollywood Bowl. There is no information on what he will do in the summer of 2023, but there should be some festivals and open-air theaters in Europe.
It tends to get rather packed for Van Morrison in the fall when he goes on more shows in Europe and North America. Thus, in the last September and October, he performed more than twenty concerts in Ireland and the UK, and in October and November of the same year, he performed only several concerts in the United States of America. The shows received appreciation for Morrison’s sustained powerful singing and the instinctive interplay of his band.
As in previous years, there should be another successful fall tour by Van Morrison featuring various locations in Europe and North America. He tends to go back to cities and venues from which he has already made history over the years. The songs that are played change from one night to another, catering to the common listeners who want the hits and the hardcore fans who also want to hear their favorites that may not be common.

He has also performed in multiple night engagements at the San Francisco Jazz Center.
Due to health precautions, Morrison toured less during the COVID-19 high-risk years but was ready to resume touring as soon as restrictions were lifted in 2022. Everything seems to indicate that the 77-year-old singer will continue to tour in 2023 and all the following years. Even if he performs less frequently, Morrison still performs longer shows compared to other artists his age, sometimes lasting over two hours.
