ABOUT ADRIAN VANDENBERG: MY WHITESNAKE YEARS
MY WHITESNAKE YEARS brings the golden era of one of hard rock's most iconic bands roaring back to life, performed by the legendary guitarist who helped define it. For over a decade, ADRIAN VANDENBERG stood alongside David Coverdale as Whitesnake's lead guitarist and co-writing partner, shaping the sound of an era that produced multi-platinum albums, worldwide No. 1 hits, and some of the most recognizable guitar solos in rock history.
VANDENBERG first rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his own band, earning international success with hits like "Burning Heart" and major tours alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Rush, and KISS. His talent and songwriting drew the attention of David Coverdale, and in 1986 he joined Whitesnake just ahead of their commercial peak. His instantly recognizable guitar solo on "Here I Go Again" helped propel the song to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and he went on to co-write the music for Slip of the Tongue and Restless Heart, perform on the landmark Live at Donington concert, record the intimate acoustic album Starkers in Tokyo, and rejoin for Whitesnake's celebrated Greatest Hits reunion tour.
MY WHITESNAKE YEARS is a powerhouse celebration of that legacy. Backed by a world-class band, VANDENBERG delivers scorching performances of Whitesnake's greatest anthems, from "Still of the Night" and "Here I Go Again" to "Fool for Your Loving," "Judgement Day," "Crying in the Rain," and beyond. This is not a tribute act; this is the artist who co-wrote and performed these songs bringing them back to the stage with the authenticity, fire, and precision that only he can deliver.
The 2026 U.S. tour raises the stakes even higher with an all-star bill featuring acclaimed guitarist Vinnie Moore (21 years with UFO, plus work with Alice Cooper) and veteran bassist/vocalist Marco Mendoza (26 years with Thin Lizzy, seven years with Whitesnake, seven years with Ted Nugent, plus The Dead Daisies). Together, the three cover hits and deep cuts spanning Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, UFO, Ted Nugent, and more, delivering a night of classic hard rock that is, as fans and critics have described it, "unforgettable," "emotional," and "absolutely mind-blowing."
Equally respected as a visual artist, VANDENBERG also painted his band's album artwork and has exhibited his work in prestigious galleries across Europe. Beyond Whitesnake, his recording career includes multiple solo releases, three albums with Vandenberg's MoonKings, and the critically acclaimed 2024 release Sin with vocalist Mats Levén. A gifted artist in every sense of the word, ADRIAN VANDENBERG proves night after night that the golden era of Whitesnake is alive, electrifying, and more powerful than ever.
