Smith & Kotzen Set Sights on the UK and Europe with 2026 Tour

Smith & Kotzen Announce UK and European Tour for 2026

A guitar duo with iconic musical expertise is ready to prove a point once again: Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden and string-instrument icon Richie Kotzen are taking their latest release Black Light / White Noise on tour. The wait is short — it all kicks off in Madrid on February 3rd. Joined by bassist Julia Lage and drummer Bruno Valverde, the second album receives a fresh live presentation.

An album that clearly works for critics too, with broadly positive reviews across the board and even landing at No.1 on the UK Official Rock & Metal Chart.

The positive momentum doesn’t stop there: the duo have now released an expanded deluxe digital version of their highly praised second album Black Light / White Noise. Two new tracks join the lineup — “All The Way Down” and “The Grind” — following the recent single “Blindsided” and its accompanying video.

Adrian Smith commented:

We’ve been blown away by the reaction to Black Light / White Noise! We’re extremely proud of it, and to know that it’s been received so enthusiastically by fans old and new has been amazing. We can’t wait to hit the road with Julia and Bruno and start playing these songs live.

Richie Kotzen added:

From the moment we finished the record, we knew we had something special on our hands. It’s been a joy for us both to play together in the studio and on stage, and to write some of the most exciting music we’ve ever done. Bringing it to bigger stages and even more people in the UK, Europe and South America is going to be great. We’ll see you all down the front!

If you aspire to be down the front, get your tickets now and witness what happens when two pros steal the show.
