Dear UK and Irish friends,

As a lot of you may know ever since my Whitesnake days I’ve been looking forward to finally play the UK for decades again and now for the first time: Ireland!

To my regret we had to move the announced shows forward to October due to practical and logistical reasons. Also an already announced festival was moved to autumn and since the cost of bringing my band and crew over has more than doubled over the past years, the way to make it all possible is to combine this because we want to be able to bring you the quality show that you deserve after all these years! 

But, as legendary Dutch football player Johan Cruijff always said: ‘every disadvantage can have an advantage’: the good news is that were able to add a few more shows!

My sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but.. let’s blow the roof off together in October!

See you all soon!

  • Adrian Vandenberg

    Adrian Vandenberg

    Hard Rock

    Every album paints a picture. Instead of utilizing a brush and canvas, Vandenberg paints with towering vocals, earthquaking rhythms, and the iconic and instantly recognizable fretwork of guitarist and namesake Adrian Vandenberg. Joined by vocalist Mats Levén, drummer Koen Herfst, and bassist Randy van der Elsen, the influential axe-slinger delivers a vibrant, visceral, and vital vision on the group’s fifth full-length offering, SIN [Mascot Label Group], brought to life in broad strokes of anthemic hard rock and airtight metal and produced by Bob Marlette [Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie]

    “For me, music is very much like a painting” affirms Adrian. “You have your ups, downs, lights, and shades. One song might make you want to jump on the table and party your brains out. Another song will inspire you to think. Either way, you’re thrown into a landscape, which my favourite albums still do to me. You could be in your car or at home with your headphones plugged into a soundsystem, and you’re in a different world.” Adrian has always made records like this…

    Exploding out of The Netherlands and onto the global scene with 1982’s self-titled Vandenberg, the Dutch phenomenon notched an international hit in the form of “Burning Heart,” paving the way for seminal releases such as Heading For A Storm [1983] and Alibi [1985]. The band canvased the United States, Europe, and Japan alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Rush, Scorpions, Michael Schenker, and many others. Sought out to join Whitesnake, Adrian famously ripped the legendary lead on the 1987 recording of the #1 smash “Here I Go Again,” which adorned the 8x-platinum Whitesnake and ended up touring the world’s largest arenas for a year-and-a-half when the 1987 album went through the roof in terms of sales. He co-wrote the entirety of 1989’s platinum Slip of the Tongue and spent the ensuing tour sharing axe duties with none other than Steve Vai. In addition to playing guitar on and cowriting Restless Heart from David Coverdale & Whitesnake, he performed hundreds of shows as part of the band for some twelve years. 

    Speaking to the breadth of his output, he notably penned and recorded “A Number One” as the theme for his hometown Dutch football team FC Twente. 2013 saw him launch the acclaimed Vandenberg’s MoonKings, releasing MoonKings [2014], MK II [2017], and Rugged and Unplugged [2018].

    Vandenberg as a band roared back to life with the comeback LP, 2020. Among many highlights, “Freight Train” gathered 1.6 million Spotify streams, while the record attracted praise. Sonic Perspectives enthused, “The end result sounds like the missing link between Whitesnake and Rainbow, and updates the group’s sound to the new generation of hard rock fans.”

    In its wake, Vandenberg welcomed Mats [Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Yngwie Malmsteen] to the fold. “He’s an amazing singer,” notes Adrian. “I’d heard him online, and we got in touch. It’s funny because his mom brought the first two Vandenberg records back to Scandinavia from England when he was in his early twenties—and he was a fan. He’s a workaholic like me. We picked up after COVID and put the new album together. The spark is definitely there. I’d say it’s one notch heavier than 2020” he smiles.

    Recorded in Holland and Los Angeles with Marlette, SIN represents a natural evolution for Vandenberg. Scorching pinch harmonics light up the first single “House On Fire” as the groove underlines a chantable chorus from Mats.
    At the beginning of 2024 drummer Koen Herfst had to stay low for a quite while due to a minor accident in the middle of touring Europe and got replaced by super dynamic Joey De Boer, seen by many as a young Tommy Aldridge, quite a compliment really. 

    In the summer of 2024 brilliant bass player Sem Christoffel re-joined Adrian again, they worked together for years in Vandenberg’s MoonKings and recorded two critically acclaimed albums. Adrian couldn’t be happier with the present line-up of his band; ‘it feels a bit funny to actually be a fan of your own band’ he smiles.
