Venue: Buxton Opera House

Legendary guitarist Robben Ford returns to the UK in January & February 2027!

Fresh from the release of his acclaimed album Two Shades Of Blue, Ford is back on the road in exceptional form. A five-time Grammy nominee, he remains one of the world’s most revered electric guitarists — a master of blending blues, rock, jazz and fusion into something entirely his own.

Across a career spanning more than five decades, Ford has collaborated with icons including Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, George Harrison, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan. His live shows are a rare chance to witness a true innovator at the height of his powers, combining technical brilliance with feel, soul and spontaneity.

Two Shades Of Blue showcases a restless creative spirit — from deep, groove-led blues to expansive, genre-defying instrumentals — and this new tour promises to bring that same energy to the stage.

At 74, Ford continues to evolve, pushing boundaries and redefining what modern blues guitar can be.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience one of the greatest guitarists of his generation live.
