Van Morrison is playing some special shows in the UK next year.

Van Morrison turned 80 earlier this year, but has shown absolutely no desire to hang up his touring boots any time soon.

After announcing a "special show" in the UK for next year, Van swiftly followed it up with confirmation of a second show at the same venue a day earlier.

Van will now play the Bath Forum on April 28 and April 29, 2026, with both shows having an 8pm start time.

Tickets are on sale now via ticketline.co.uk.

They are priced at £85, £65 and £50.

If you can't make it to bath in April, worry not. As well as touring the US in February 2026, Van plans to announce further UK dates shortly.

As well as continuing to play live, Van Morrison has been pretty prolific in the studio in recent years.

He has released at least one new album a year since 2021's double CD Latest Record Project, Volume 1, with the most recent being this year's Remembering Now.
