THE CELEBRATION CONTINUES: FOLLOWING OVERWHELMING RESPONSE, THE MOODY BLUES’ JOHN LODGE TRIBUTE SHOWS EXTENDED INTO WINTER 2026

NEW YORK, NY — Following an incredible outpouring of love and support for the initial John Lodge Celebration shows in July 2026 - described by audiences as “emotional and unforgettable” - six additional winter tour dates have been officially announced. The highly anticipated extension will kick off at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis, MD, on November 29, 2026, and culminate at the Royal Oak Music Theatre in Royal Oak, MI, on December 6, 2026. All dates are below.

The premiere July performances in Clearwater, Florida, and Esher, UK, captured a rare magic. By seamlessly weaving archival vocals and visual footage of John directly into the live set, it was as if John were performing in perfect harmony with his band. Earning both rave critical reviews and ecstatic fan acclaim for the amazing performances, this breathtaking technical feat created an incredibly powerful, spiritual atmosphere where audiences felt as though John were right there in the room with them.

John always said that he hoped people would leave his shows with joy in their hearts, and this is exactly how these shows left audiences - earning repeated standing ovations. As one attendee noted, “the love in the room was everywhere,” while another declared the concert “a masterstroke, very emotional & unforgettable.”

These upcoming winter events will once again bring audiences together to celebrate John Lodge, his legendary solo work, and the timeless music of The Moody Blues in what promises to be another deeply uplifting and joyful event.

Tickets for the new dates will go on sale this week. Exclusive Meet and Greet VIP packages with Jon, Alan and the band will also be available.

https://www.johnlodge.com/pages/tour-dates

THE JOHN LODGE CELEBRATION – WINTER 2026 TOUR DATES:
• Nov 29 – Rams Head On Stage – Annapolis, MD
• Nov 30 – Bearsville Theater – Woodstock, NY
• Dec 01 – The Vogel – Red Bank, NJ
• Dec 03 – Infinity Hall – Hartford, CT
• Dec 04 – Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA
• Dec 06 – Royal Oak Music Theatre – Royal Oak, MI

When The Moody Blues stopped touring in 2018, John made it his absolute passion to keep their music alive - a body of work he described as "the soundtrack of his life". Aided by his great friend and Music Director, Alan Hewitt (keyboards for The Moody Blues), alongside his 10,000 Light Years Band, John embarked on a series of tours to bring this iconic music to life. John's shows were always met with widespread praise from audiences and critics alike, featuring stunning lighting and video production that framed a catalog lovingly recreated and deeply true to the original recordings.

Throughout his solo career, John also used his stage to honor his bandmates, creating mesmerizing tributes to Ray Thomas ("Legend of a Mind"), Mike Pinder ("The Sunset"), and fulfilling a deeply personal wish by having drummer Graeme Edge record and film his poem "Late Lament" so, as John said, he could forever be on stage beside him.

During this period of creative rebirth, personal and professional worlds beautifully collided when John’s daughter Emily, met Jon Davison of the band YES. Not only did Emily and Jon fall in love and marry, but Jon and John became close friends, and Jon joined the ‘merry band of brothers’ on stage.

During the joyful tours that followed, and the long travel days, John and Jon continued to talk and make plans… everything and anything seemed possible as the miles rolled by, and one of the conversations was how much John wanted Jon and Alan to continue the band into the future.

Following John's sad passing last year, at first there was silence, and then Jon, Alan and Emily slowly began to talk about fulfilling that wish. Could they continue John’s mission to ‘Keep the Music Alive’? The seedling of hope grew as ideas flew between them. Long-time collaborator and videographer Andy Clark was brought in to begin the visual production. Jon picked up the bass guitar and began to master John's parts, while Alan started to make magic Moody Blues music again.

Their efforts exceeded all expectations. Hailed by critics as "a brilliant technical accomplishment" with "amazing sound, lighting, and live performances," the show features a curated setlist that explodes with massive hits and deep-cut fan favorites. Audiences can expect to hear timeless classics including "Nights in White Satin," "Isn’t Life Strange," "Legend of a Mind," "Ride My See-Saw," "Tuesday Afternoon," “Gemini Dream,” and "I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)" plus so much more.

Exclusive VIP packages will be available, offering fans a unique Meet and Greet opportunity with John's 10,000 Light Years Band - featuring Jon Davison and Alan Hewitt, alongside Billy Ashbaugh on drums (from The Moody Blues touring band), Duffy King on guitars, and Jason Charboneau on cello.

Designed to touch hearts and spread happiness, these unique winter shows will feature select USA tour dates, with potential for further extensions depending on fan response.

QUOTES FOR THE MEDIA:

"To be able to work with my darling Jon and the incredibly talented Alan on these shows for my father has been the thing that has made the sun shine again. It was so deeply moving to see everyone’s hard work come together in July, and to witness the love and joy flowing effortlessly both from the audience to the stage, and from the stage back to the audience. We are profoundly grateful for the overwhelming support from the fans, our agent, and the promoters who are making these additional winter shows possible. Their belief in this project allows us not just to heal, but to truly follow in my father’s wishes to keep the music alive. As my father always said, 'Thank You for Keeping the Faith.'"
— Emily Davison, September 2026

"I had a unique perspective of John in that I was lucky enough to become his son-in-law and close friend. I learned so much from my time with John, which included many exciting stage experiences performing beside his magnificent and magnetic personality. Along with the incredible Alan Hewitt and the 10,000 Light Years band, I’m thrilled to have the blessed opportunity to be standing by John’s side again."
— Jon Davison, February 2026

"John had a huge heart and was loved by so many. I will miss him and will miss being on stage playing those great songs with him, but this is the next best thing. I know he’ll be with us in spirit and smiling, knowing that we kept the promise we made before he left to fly with the angels."
— Alan Hewitt, February 2026

With a voice that can move from a gravelly rasp to a warm croon, and guitar work marked by blues fire and melodic sophistication, Stuckey creates music that is soulful, literate, and full of human connection.

The June 25 performance at Whisky a Go Go offers Los Angeles audiences a chance to experience Stuckey’s musicianship in an intimate, high-energy setting, backed by two well-respected players and sharing the bill on a night that celebrates music history, craft, and connection.

Tribute Shows to the Late, Great, John Lodge of the Moody Blues Announced!

Friday July 17th at The Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, Clearwater, Florida, and Sunday July 26th at Esher Theatre, Esher, UK

We are delighted to confirm that two special concerts have been planned to celebrate John Lodge, his music, and the music of the Moody Blues.

Friday July 17th at The Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, Clearwater, Florida – Tickets on Sale Friday, March 13, 2026 at 10:00am
https://www.rutheckerdhall.com/events/detail/john-lodge-celebration

Sunday July 26th at Esher Theatre, Esher, UK - Tickets on Sale Wednesday March 11.
http://www.eshertheatre.com/

VIP tickets available to include a Meet and Greet with Jon Davison, Alan Hewitt and the 10,000 Light Years Band.

When the Moodies stopped touring in 2018, John made it his absolute passion to keep the Moody Blues music alive. John had embarked on his first solo tour in 2015, aided by his great friend and Music Director Alan Hewitt (Keyboards for the Moody Blues), and what followed was a series of tours capturing the music that John described as the soundtrack of his life. The shows grew from simple shows in small venues, to the extravaganza that followed, with captivating video and lights joining the impeccable sound, energy, and passion that John, Alan, and the 10,000 Light Years Band, brought to this magical and iconic music.

John’s first ‘tribute’ in his show was to his oldest friend, Ray Thomas, with his mesmerizing rendition of ‘Legend of a Mind’. Soon after he added his tribute to Mike Pinder with his ethereal version of ‘The Sunset’, and very sadly Graeme Edge was then lost. Prior to Graeme’s passing he met with John, and John asked him to record his poem ‘Late Lament’, so he could forever be on stage beside him. It gave John never-ending joy to include it in his show, and take a moment during each evening to stop and listen to the words his friend wrote so many decades ago… The years would fall away as John, together with the audience, would journey back in time together through this timeless music.

At the same time that John was building this stunning show, his daughter Emily met Jon Davison of Yes…. not only did they fall in love (and later marry), but Jon and John became great friends… and over nights spent enjoying each other’s company, they decided that Jon should join the merry band of brothers, and together they could continue to honour the music of the Moody Blues, and that of Graeme, Justin, Mike and Ray. As John said, he hoped people would leave his shows feeling that something joyful had happened to them.

The years of touring brought so much happiness and created deep and lasting memories for all. There were a lot of laughs, and sometimes challenges, but always a shared passion for the love of the music, and for those standing side by side on stage together.

During some of the long travel days John and Jon continued to talk and make plans… everything and anything seemed possible as the miles rolled by, and one of the conversations was how much John wanted Jon and Alan to continue the band into the future.

Sadly, this all came to an end one day in October. For a little while there was silence. Then slowly Jon and Alan began to talk. Could it be possible to fulfil John’s wishes? Could they continue John’s mission to ‘Keep the Music Alive’? The seedling of hope grew day after day as ideas flew between them. They brought in the videographer Andy Clark, a long-time friend and collaborator, and he began work on the video. Jon picked up his bass guitar and began to learn John’s parts… and Alan started making magic Moody Blues music again…

The concert will be a Celebration of John and the music of The Moody Blues. The hope is to bring all the love, joy, happiness, and incredible music that John’s shows were famous for alive. The set list will incorporate hits and fan favourites, and will include enchanting vocals and visuals of John, together with the angelic voice of Jon Davison, and the incredible 10,000 Light Years Band. This is a show that will reach deep in the heart, but at the same time, create happiness through the power of music. These two unique shows are planned for now, one near John's home in the USA, and one near his home in the UK, and just maybe, if the fans enjoy it as much as the band on stage do, more might follow.

"To be able to work with my darling Jon and the incredibly talented Alan on these shows for my father has been the thing that has made the sun shine again. My hope is that for all of us; me, Jon, the band, and the fans, we can come together to share in our love of my father, and the music, one more time. He will forever be in my heart, and forever walking by my side. It is not a time for sadness. It is a time to smile to the heavens, and I hope people will come and join us as Jon, Alan and the band play the music we all love, as we fulfil his wishes. As my father always said, Thank You for Keeping the Faith." Emily Davison, February 2026

“I had a unique perspective of John in that I was lucky enough to become his son-in-law and close friend. I learned so much from my time with John, which included many exciting stage experiences performing beside his magnificent and magnetic personality. Along with the incredible Alan Hewitt and the 10,000 Light Years band, I’m thrilled to have the blessed opportunity to be standing by John’s side one more time.” Jon Davison, February 2026

We are so excited to offer a unique culmination to our festival at 8 PM that includes three Georgia legends performing a songwriters-in-the-round style set—Caroline Aiken, Diane Durrett, and Liz Melendez.

Chances are that if you are a true music enthusiast, especially of guitar-driven Southern rock and blues, you have heard of Macon, Georgia’s official music ambassador Joey Stuckey. The blind producer and recording artist launched a new music festival in his hometown on September 29, 2017. The festival, “Joey Stuckey Alive Day,” hosted an array of talented musicians from across the state of Georgia. This free, family-friendly event was held in celebration of the anniversary of Stuckey’s surviving brain tumor surgery as a child. While the brain tumor left Stuckey blind and with other health challenges, his parents started celebrating the anniversary of the successful removal of the brain tumor as a way to turn what could have been a traumatic experience for a child into a triumphant experience!

Stuckey sees his “Alive Day” as a chance to connect with family, friends and fans and to revel in the joy of living and music. It is a day dedicated to positivity and to uplifting the community. The inaugural concert featured 8 artists, a variety of activities for families, food trucks, perfect weather and over 500 music-lovers in attendance! Mayor Robert Reichert honored Stuckey by issuing a proclamation naming September 29th “Joey Stuckey’s Alive Day in Macon/Bibb.” The second annual festival in 2018 saw around 1500 attendees.

Says Stuckey, “The outpouring of love and support is humbling. I am looking forward to this year’s festival!”

The Wetton Family & QEDG Management Announce Line-up of Legends to Play Exclusive John Wetton Memorial Concert on August 3, 2023!

In aid of charity who cared for John - Streaming Tickets On Sale Now!

Lisa Wetton, (wife) Dylan Wetton, (son) and QEDG Management are delighted to announce that a memorial concert will be held in memory of JOHN WETTON (King Crimson, Family, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash, UK, Asia) on August 3rd, 2023 at Trading Boundaries in East Sussex. The event will see friends and family of the late lead singer and guitarist gather together to celebrate the life of this extraordinary musician. An all-star line-up of legends, who were friends and collaborators of Wetton’s, will perform songs from throughout his incredible career.

The memorial event will be hosted by Prog Magazine’s editor, Jerry Ewing, alongside Geoff Downes (The Buggles, Asia, YES), Steve Hackett (Genesis, GTR) and artist Roger Dean. The list of performers who wish to pay tribute to the legendary Wetton is growing by the day, but so far boasts (in alphabetical order):

Chris Braide (Downes Braide Association), Roger Chapman (Family), Jim Cregan (Family, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel), David Cross (King Crimson), Chris Difford (Squeeze), Geoff Downes, Steve Hackett, Annie Haslam (Renaissance), Dave Kilminster (John Wetton, Keith Emerson, Steven Wilson, Roger Waters), Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music), John Mitchell (John Wetton, Icon, It Bites, Fr*st), Martin Orford (John Wetton, IQ, Jadis), Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd, Roxy Music) , Jay Schellen (YES, Asia), Billy Sherwood (YES, Asia) and Rick Wakeman (YES, Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe) - all of whom will be supported by The Paul Green Rock Academy.

Geoff Downes commented “I am very excited to be a part of the upcoming John Wetton Tribute. As you all know, I had a very close and unique writing partnership with John, and we were dear friends, brothers and band mates for many years.”

Wetton died on 31st January 2017, as a result of complications due to cancer. He spent his last days being cared for by the charity Macmillan Caring Locally, at the Macmillan Unit, Christchurch Hospital in Dorset. As a gesture of recognition towards his fans who supported Wetton right up until his death, John’s family and management have decided to allow this unique event to be live streamed so that it can be enjoyed across the globe. They have also identified the memorial as being the perfect opportunity to highlight the fantastic work done by Macmillan Caring Locally and to raise much-needed funds for the creation of a special hospice suite dedicated to the star.

Lin Sharp, Fundraising and Communications Director for the charity commented “It was a privilege to care for John in the final days of his life and we are so grateful to his wife, Lisa, for her continued support. All monies raised will go to fund a room as a legacy to John, named The John Wetton Suite. A massive thank you to you all for making this possible.”

John’s son Dylan went on to say “I am delighted and humbled that so many legendary artists who worked with my Dad over the years have agreed to come together both to honour him and raise vital funds for the charity which supported him during his last days.”

Tickets for the live stream can be purchased now with all proceeds going to Macmillan Caring Locally. In an effort to raise further funds, a special online auction will run alongside the evening’s proceedings boasting some unique lots, including a guitar owned by Wetton himself.

This promises to be an incredible, once-in-a-life time event and it is hoped that fans will support it generously by buying live stream memorial tickets as well as bidding on the various auction lots.

Dylan Wetton went on to say “I cannot think of a better way to celebrate my Dad’s life and the incredible musical legacy he has left behind. It’s going to be an amazing night, a unique event - which is exactly what my Dad deserves.” Downes agrees “To honour John’s legacy in this way with so many of his former musicians, colleagues and family gather together, shows just what an enormous amount of love, gratitude and respect so many of us held for John and his music. It’s going to be a wonderful celebration spanning the whole of John’s amazing career. I am very much looking forward to it. See you all there.”

Prog Legends UK’s 10th Anniversary Release of “Curtain Call (2023 Remaster)” Concert Video

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Eddie Jobson has announced the first worldwide release of “Curtain Call (2023 Remaster)” by the legendary progressive-rock supergroup UK. Previously only available in Japan, this one-off 2013 reunion concert in Tokyo features UK founding members Eddie Jobson and the late, great John Wetton, along with new-generation virtuosos Alex Machacek and super-drummer Marco Minnemann, and captures the only ever live performance of both UK studio albums “UK” and “Danger Money” in their entirety.

Released on both Blu-ray and DVD in a single package, this rare concert footage has been fully remixed and remastered for worldwide release on May 19th.

UK were a British progressive rock supergroup originally active from 1977 to 1980. The band was founded by bass guitarist John Wetton and drummer Bill Bruford, formerly the rhythm section of King Crimson, along with former Roxy Music and Frank Zappa violinist/keyboardist/composer Eddie Jobson; guitarist Allan Holdsworth completed the original lineup. Bruford and Holdsworth left in 1978, and Bruford was replaced by drummer Terry Bozzio. Jobson, Wetton and Bozzio reformed UK for a world tour in 2012, with further Jobson-Wetton reunion tours extending through to 2015. Throughout their brief existence, UK’s music was characterised by skilled musicianship, complex harmony, odd time signatures, electric violin solos, and unusually varied synthesizer (Yamaha CS-80) sonorities. The band spans various genres ranging from progressive rock to jazz fusion.

THE MOODY BLUES’ JOHN LODGE ONE NIGHT ONLY! JULY 25 at OCEAN CITY MUSIC PIER, NJ

‘Keeping All The Moody Blues Music Alive’

John Lodge - legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist for the iconic rock band, The Moody Blues is to bring his electrifying ‘Performs Classic Moody Blues’ show to the Ocean City Music Pier on July 25 as part of their Summer Concert Series.

Tickets on sale now at: https://www.ticketmaster.com/an-evening-with-the-moody-blues-ocean-city-new-jersey-07-25-2022/event/02005CB49C2E6AA2. Limited Edition VIP ‘add on’ merchandise packages also available https://tickets.onelivemedia.com/events/27501

Check out the tour promo video here! (https://youtu.be/X6Lr2SvoTkk)

Writer and vocalist of such mega Moody Blues hits “Ride My See-Saw”, “I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)”, “Isn’t Life Strange”, “Gemini Dream”, “Steppin in a Slide Zone” and many many more. Lodge has been performing and recording with The Moody Blues for more than five decades, selling in excess of 70 million albums, and also enjoys a successful solo career.

With the Moody Blues no longer touring, it’s John’s deeply held desire to continue to bring this music, the music he calls ‘the soundtrack of his life’ - as it is to so many - to the fans who have been on this journey with him for so many years. John and his band perform these classic songs with a new energy, whilst always remaining true to the Moody’s roots and the original iconic sound. They are unique in managing to bring a feeling of nostalgia to the room and the audience to their feet, with songs that are as relevant today as they were when first written and experienced.

As one critic wrote, ‘a brilliant night of classics from start to finish from this living Rock Legend!’, and as John says to the fans at the end of every show, ‘Thank you for Keeping the Faith’… and you can see he means it. John’s show weaves his own Moodies hits together with special tributes to his bandmates from The Moody Blues, including a very special recording by the late Graeme Edge of his poem ‘Late Lament’. Jon Davison of YES will be joining him on stage for ‘Nights in White Satin’.

The show is in support of his latest live album ‘The Royal Affair and After’ released in January this year to critical acclaim. The album was recorded live in Las Vegas on ‘The Royal Affair Tour’, in the Summer of 2019.

John’s mission statement is, after all, “I want to keep all the Moody Blues music alive!”

Joining John are his ‘10,000 Light Years Band’; Alan Hewitt (Music Director and Keyboards), Billy Ashbaugh (Drums), Duffy King (Guitars) and Jason Charboneau (Cello).

“I’m delighted to be bringing my Moody Blues show to the Ocean City Music Pier as part of their Summer Concert Series! I had a fabulous time on our March tour and on the Flower Power Cruise, and although we are working on dates for later in the year and next year, I was really happy to be asked to be part of this series. I’ll be bringing my band, and we’ll be doing our full ‘Classic Moody Blues’ show with all my hits and tributes to all my bandmates. These songs really are the soundtrack of my life and I look forward to sharing them with fans, and perhaps even some not so familiar with the Moody Blues.” - John Lodge June 2022.

It Was Fifty Years Ago Today: A Tribute to The Beatles starring Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Joey Molland, Jay DeMarcus, Denny Laine and Jason Scheff

It Was Fifty Years Ago Today: A Tribute to The Beatles starring Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Badfinger featuring Joey Molland, Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, Denny Laine (founding member of The Moody Blues and Wings), and Jason Scheff (Chicago’s lead singer from 1985-2016)! These legendary artists will be performing their hits plus selected songs from The Beatles’ albums “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver”.

Hear classics like “I Saw the Light”, “Hello It’s Me”, “Sailing”, “Ride Like the Wind”, “No Matter What”, “Go Now”, and more alongside Beatles classics!

Says producer Toby Ludwig, “Flower Power concerts has been doing Beatles tributes featuring some of the greatest voices and musicians available for over 20 years now, creating a unique experience that can be shared by all. The songbook of these albums should be our best one yet.”

“This time we thought: Wouldn’t it be great if we played the best songs The Beatles ever recorded for a change? ‘Rubber Soul’ and ‘Revolver’ are the boys peaking in front of our eyes and redefining what pop music would be for the foreseeable future. This is going to be fun.” – Todd Rundgren

“It’s always a pleasure playing these classic songs with great artists and friends. Please come join us.” - Christopher Cross

“The Moody Blues met the BEATLES in the early 60’s and were invited to join them on their second British tour. The thought of performing some of their classic songs with such a revered cast on this tour will bring back not only those moments in time but also fond memories as a member of WINGS. I trust that we will pay due credit to their timeless legacy by bringing back that music to everyone who joins us for this special ride.” - Denny Laine
