Blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa revealed Monday (25 July 2022) that an “important announcement” was on its way – the cat is now out of the bag, and presale tickets for his spring 2023 tour are currently available.
Age 45, Bonamassa has been active for much of his life. He opened for B.B. King at several of his 1989 shows, age just 12.
The announcement of his spring tour comes as Bonamassa gussies up for the commencement of his US summer tour 2022.
Here’s what you need to know regarding presale and general onsale tickets to see Joe Bonamassa in spring 2023, plus info on ticket prices and concert locations.
How to shop presale to see Joe Bonamassa in spring 2023

The blues titan posted on Facebook today, however, that the fan presale “is going on now” for his spring 2023 tour.
Bonamassa, or whoever runs his social media account(s), included a link, which redirects to a page on Joe’s website urging fans to “get the best seats first”. The link is also here.
