'60s Music Legend, 89, Announces Special Guests for 2026 Tour
Buddy Guy, a music legend celebrated for pioneering the Chicago "West Side" electric blues sound, surprised fans with exciting news.
Following the announcement of his 2026 tour in February, the award-winning artist delivered a major update, giving his supporters even more reason to celebrate.
In an Instagram post, the 89-year-old revealed that he was adding not just one but six special guests to join him on stage.
"It's not a celebration without friends and we're bringing along some great ones on the Buddy Guy 90 Tour! Get your tickets now at buddyguy.net," the caption reads.
The special guests include blues-rock guitarist and singer Ally Venable, Blood Brothers, Carlisle Guy & the Nublu Band, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, D.K. Harrell and guitarist Taj Farrant, who will perform on select dates.
In February, Guy, whose real name is George Guy, first announced the upcoming tour, sparking an overwhelming response from fans.
The tour is also a celebration of his 90th birthday on July 30.
The iconic nine-time Grammy winner will travel across North America, kicking off the three-month run in Toronto on July 15 and visiting major cities such as Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, Atlantic City and Dallas before wrapping up the tour in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in September.
Prior to his North American tour, Guy was scheduled to perform multiple shows in Australia for April.
However, the Australian leg of the tour was ultimately canceled due to the postponement of the Bluesfest 2026 Festival.
