Ritchie Blackmore‘s current music project, Blackmore’s Night, has announced new concert dates this fall to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
The six performances, all taking place on the East Coast and in New England states, will take place throughout November.
The former Deep Purple guitarist formed Blackmore’s Night in 1997 with his wife, singer Candice Night. The group, which includes a revolving membership with Blackmore and Night as the only constant musicians, performs folk rock with roots in medieval music.

The band has released nearly a dozen albums since its inception. While earlier releases focused on period acoustic instruments, such as the mandolin and hurdy gurdy, Blackmore has since expanded their repertoire to include electric guitars occasionally.
Their most recent album, Nature’s Light, was released in 2021.
In April, Night revealed that Blackmore had a heart attack in 2023. At the time, Night noted that Blackmore, now 80, also was diagnosed with gout, arthritis and back problems.
“It’s getting harder for him,” she said. “It’s tricky.” Blackmore’s Night performed some shows this past spring.
Where Is Blackmore’s Night Playing in 2025?
The new fall concert dates start on Nov. 9 with a show in Alexandria, Virginia. The tour then has stops in Newtown, New Jersey, Wilmington, Delaware, and other cities before concluding with a concert on Nov. 29 in Tarrytown, New York.
