[Adrian Vandenberg]

Dutch guitarist Adrian Vandenberg, today, announces his 35 Year Anniversary Tour celebrating 'Whitesnake at Donington' - one of Whitesnakes most iconic and in demand shows, who at the time included Steve Vai, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge and David Coverdale, taking place across UK and Ireland in May 2025.

TICKETS GO ON SALE, TOMORROW, TUESDAY 13 AUGUST AT 9AM!

Officially released as a live album, in 2011 after much fan demand, 'Whitesnake at Donington' landed in 7 different charts in 5 countries including a top position of #5 in UK Rock & Metal Albums.

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. 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. On top of that, Koen and Randy lay down the most solid concrete, grooving foundation that I could ever wish for. 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.  "In one way, it's a party song, because it keeps you tapping your foot," Adrian exclaims. "Mats added a different darker twist with his lyrics. It also envisions a person who's frustrated about the things other people have. This person can't control their anger and sets the place on fire."

Exactly what it says on the ti....poster

La Villa Strangiato is a originally Italian project born as a tribute to Rush, mainly to revive their music from the 70s and 80s, formed by Gabriele Ferrari in 2010. With the help of musician friends, they performed their first show in Rome in March 2011, dedicated to the album 'Exit Stage Left'. After going from strength to strength playing around Europe and headlining Rush EuCon (the European Fan Convention) in the UK in 2014, and with Rush's 40th anniversary being recorded in 2015, they toured Europe, the production titled "Rush 40". LVS toured "Signals Under Pressure" and were invited to play at Rushest in Scotland, with original Rush producer Terry Brown in the audience. In 2017 the tour was a tribute to "2112" and at Rush EuCon they played with Terry Brown once again. 2018 was the "Stranger Spheres" (Hemispheres) tour and 2019 was "A Show Of Hands". For 2020 they had prepared "Permanent Changes" but after only a few shows the tour was postponed due to the pandemic...........resuming from mid-2021 until the end of 2022.
During that season the band will make a big change in the Line Up and in addition to the founding member Gabriele, will be made up of top musicians from the United Kingdom. The band will subsequently return on the road in 2023 with the DIFFERENT Men on STAGES tour where they will enjoy a great success around all Europe.....and expect the unexpected with a fantastic collection of Rush material from the new 2024 Tour CRush Under Pressure!!
