Van Morrison is never going to quit. The 80-year-old icon keeps touring, and he keeps releasing a new album every year. He has 45 studio albums total, and a bunch of live records too.

Maybe he will make another live album when he finishes up his 2026 tour dates. All of them will take place in Europe, so if you want to see Morrison, you might want to choose a destination vacation location and start planning your trip. Your safest bet might be London.

That's because after traversing Europe in June and July, the singer will have a five-night residency at British Airways ARC. Tickets for the shows go on sale on Friday, May 15, at 9 am BST. If you live in the eastern part of the United States and want to go, that means ticket sales start on Friday at 3 am.

Van Morrison will set up residency in London in September

You might want to stay up and pull an all-nighter for tickets. Maybe just start playing some of Van Morrison's iconic records, such as Astral Weeks or Moondance. To get your tickets, you can visit the artist's official website.

One of Morrison's 2026 dates includes being joined by the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood. That will happen on July 16 in Austria. Sounds like a wonderful time to visit the country.
