Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram Announces ‘The Hard Road World Tour’

Blues guitar phenom Christone “Kingfish” Ingram announced “The Hard Road World Tour” bringing his incendiary playing and soulful delivery to blues fans around the globe in 2025.

The international headline tour kicks off on April 11 at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival and will travel across Australia, North America, Europe and the UK through November.

“I’m really looking forward to ‘The Hard Road Tour,’” said Ingram, who just wrapped the “Experience Hendrix Tour.” “I’m grateful for the chance to make and play the music I love. These shows will be a celebration of both the long, sometimes tough journey I’ve taken in this industry and the amazing fans who’ve supported me every step of the way.”

Pre-sale tickets for new dates will be available April 9 at noon EDT. Local pre-sale is April 10 at 10:00 AM local time. Sale to the general public is April 11 at 10:00 AM local time. A limited number of VIP packages will also be available in select cities.

Ingram will be performing tracks from his upcoming album – his first since his Grammy Award winning 662. The new record, due out later this year, marks the debut release from Red Zero Records, the label co-founded by Ingram and his longtime manager Ric Whitney.

“We’re excited to share that new Kingfish music is on the horizon,” said Whitney in a release. “Launching the record label and releasing his third studio album is a huge milestone. It highlights the significance of ‘The Hard Road Tour’ – a celebration of where Kingfish has been and where he’s going.”
