ANDY MCKEE - TOUR 2026

In the organizer's words:

ANDY MCKEE is one of the most influential and fascinating acoustic guitarists of our time and is returning to the stage. He will be coming to Europe in April and May 2026, playing five concerts in Germany. Fans can look forward to exclusive evenings where the guitar can be experienced in all its facets. With his unmistakable playing technique - two-hand tapping, percussive elements, open tunings - he transforms the guitar into an entire orchestra.

ANDY MCKEE became famous with his piece Drifting, which became one of the first viral videos on YouTube and now has over 60 million views. Millions of streams and clicks as well as sold-out concerts worldwide have made him one of the most influential fingerstyle guitarists of our time. Since then, he has thrilled audiences worldwide - whether at sold-out concerts, on tour with the likes of Dream Theater and Tommy Emmanuel or as a celebrated solo artist. His music combines virtuosity with a rare emotionality - technically brilliant and deeply moving at the same time.

ANDY MCKEE's playing is inspired by artists such as Michael Hedges, Preston Reed and Prince, with whom he even performed live on stage in 2012. But regardless of whether he is presenting his own compositions or selected interpretations, his focus is always on musical expression, even if his technique alone is more than impressive.

"I wanted to give the audience the opportunity to hear what I hear when I listen to this music. I also wanted to branch out a bit and include music that wasn't originally written for acoustic guitar."

Through hypnotic arrangements and his captivating blend of virtuosity, passion and innovation, he invites the audience on a musical journey that is definitely not to be missed. For all those who want to be there in spring 2026: Tickets are available now on Eventim!
