BONNIE RAITT RETURNS WITH HEADLINING TOUR
RAITT TO BE JOINED BY MEMBERS OF LONGTIME TOURING BAND
Bonnie Raitt is coming back to celebrate! In 2023, just months after winning three GRAMMY Awards, including Song of the Year for “Just Like That,” Raitt embarked on a successful tour of England, Scotland and Ireland which included a sellout Show at Vicar St in Dublin. Now in 2025, Raitt will return to UK and Ireland just months after being celebrated for her lifetime of artistic achievements at the 47th Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, DC this December.
Raitt is eager to return to these shores and perform songs from across her catalog, coming back to Vicar St in Dublin for 2 nights and a show at the Ulster Hall added this time around – her first appearance in Belfast for almost 20 years.
Raitt made an unexpected splash in music industry headlines last month when Essex-native Charli XCX via her collaborator Justin Vernon sampled and interpolated “Nick of Time,” the title track from Raitt’s 1989 release that earned the GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year. The new track “I think about it all the time featuring bon iver” is included on Charli’s new remix album, Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat, and whose message about “running out of time” has resonated with younger generations just as it did for Raitt’s contemporaries 35 years ago. “Well, luckily, there are people like Charli and Justin who are drawn to my music,” Raitt says. “When I started, I was idolizing my heroes like Sippie Wallace, Muddy Waters, and Judy Collins, and now I get to be appreciated like they were. I’ll take it, and wear it with pride.”
Since the release of her critically acclaimed studio album, Just Like That… in 2022, Raitt has been touring extensively across the US & Canada with overseas stops in Australia, UK and Europe including Ireland.
