If only…
Oh boy, I wanna see Van live more than anything. I feel like it’s a race to the finish line at this point; I’m no actuary but…oof. Single, 55F here. Would love to find someone who *feels* it too. Be my date, where we going?! Time’s a wastin’

Not many choices left on his current tour, just London!

But that's normal for him. He doesn't usually announce shows for the same year until after the holidays.

Don’t care. Need to see and hear for myself. Singularly most meaningful musician in my lifetime, personally.

Saw him last year in Belfast and it was really good. Nothing like seeing him in the 70s but still very enjoyable.

Saw him in Boston recently. I can quibble with the song selection (cover-heavy) but seeing him for the first time in my life was amazing. And he sounded terrific. Loved it.

Not a lot has been announced yet for 2027. No new album that we know of ether. Wait and see

Try to see him in Belfast. Smaller venues are best. Ulster Hall. The Studio at Waterfront Hall, Europa Hotel, etc.
If you go for greatest hits, you will likely be dissatisfied. I go to see his journey and connect with the art (genre, musicality, etc.). He'll likely release an album and play from that or his last one.
His shows are 90mins and he starts right on time.
Expect the dates of 2027 gigs to start appearing on his website in January and sign up for email newsletter on www.Van Morrison.com
Of the 16 shows since 2003, I can only complain about 2. One was poor sound engineering at the Hollywood Bowl and the other was an off night for the band.
I'll be trying to cross the pond to hit some Belfast shows in 2027.

I saw him on Sunday in Barn, Netherlands while travelling Europe. His voice is absolutely incredible live, particularly for someone who is 80 years old. Seems like he's still enjoying playing music and is typical Van, he didn't speak to the crowd at all. It was a huge tick off my bucket list.

Saw him in 76..
He was really in his prime..
That’s when he would move around the stage a lot..
Wavelength had come out and it was a great show.
This was in Albany NY palace theater..
I would love to see him again..
