Christone “Kingfish” Ingram – The Hard Road Tour

Thursday 26 February 2026 | The Green Room, Byron Bay

Grammy-winning blues guitar phenomenon Christone “Kingfish” Ingram returns to Australia and New Zealand in 2026 for his Hard Road Tour, following his sold-out run in 2025.

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a rare 21st-century guitar hero and the undisputed future of the blues,” Kingfish brings his explosive live show to Byron Bay for one night only. Expect a high-voltage set spanning his award-winning albums Kingfish, 662, Live in London, and his latest release, Hard Road — an album that reimagines the blues with rock, funk, soul and R&B.

Joining the tour is Australian blues powerhouse Ash Grunwald, with special guests 19-Twenty appearing for select shows. Together, they promise a night of searing guitar work, raw storytelling and unrelenting energy.
