LEGENDARY blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa is set to headline a major UK show next summer.

He will perform an exclusive outdoor concert at The Piece Hall in Halifax on Sunday, July 4, as part of the 2027 Live at The Piece Hall series.

Nicky Chance-Thompson, chief executive of The Piece Hall Charitable Trust, said: "This show will be an absolute treat for fans of the blues and guitar enthusiasts in general.

"Famed for his unique performances, Joe’s shows are the stuff of legends and we’re over the moon to have secured his only outdoor UK performance this summer."

The show will feature support from British blues star Toby Lee.

Ms Chance-Thompson said: "Hearing such a virtuoso display his world-class skills in the beautiful surroundings of our world-class venue with its superb acoustics, ambience and views, will be perfection."
