Blues legend Buddy Guy to perform in Rockford again in June

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Hot off his appearance in the box office hit “Sinners,” blues legend Buddy Guy is returning to Rockford for an encore of his farewell tour in June.

Guy, now 88, will appear at Rockford’s Coronado Performing Arts Center on June 27th, 2025.

He is the recipient of 34 Blues Music Awards, more than any artist has received. He is also a Kennedy Center Honoree and received the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its “100 Greats Guitarists of All Time.”

In 1957, he took his guitar to Chicago, where he would permanently alter the direction of the instrument, first on numerous sessions for Chess Records playing alongside Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and the rest of the label’s legendary roster, and then on recordings of his own. His incendiary style left its mark on guitarists from Jimmy Page to John Mayer.

Guy will appear with guest Ronnie Baker Brooks for his Damn Right Encore! tour at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 27th. Tickets are now on sale on Ticketmaster and at the Coronado box office.
