Buddy Guy 90th birthday celebrations

Overview

In late July 2026, the blues community highlighted the upcoming 90th birthday of American guitarist Buddy Guy. A July 25 report noted his continued touring on the “Damn Right Farewell Tour,” the recent release of his album *Ain’t Done with the Blues*, and his ownership of the Chicago club Buddy Guy’s Legends. The piece also mentioned a surge in interest after his cameo in Ryan Coogler’s film *Sinners*.

By July 30, details of the birthday festivities had materialised. Guy announced a headline concert, “Buddy’s Got The Blues,” scheduled for 1 October 2026 at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The event will feature an all‑star lineup including Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Jon Batiste, Joe Bonamassa and Billy F. Gibbons, with Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan as musical director. The announcement linked the celebration directly to his recent album and underscored his lifelong connections to blues legends.

Together, the snapshots trace the progression from general anticipation of Guy’s milestone to concrete plans for a high‑profile concert, reflecting both his enduring influence and the renewed public interest in his work.
