Dutch guitarist Adrian Vandenberg is set to celebrate his 50th anniversary as a musician in 2027.
To mark the occasion, several projects are underway, including a documentary, a new album, and a biography.
The year will also see a special concert in April at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Netherlands.
As part of the celebration, Vandenberg took to social media on June 16 to share his excitement for the upcoming year: "Guys! I'm gonna tell you a public secret: 2027 is gonna be a super exciting year! As crazy as it sounds and feels; I'll have my 50 year anniversary as a rock musician, believe it or not..
(I barely do, to be honest).
It'll be 50 years ago that I formed my first semi-pro heavy bluesrock band TEASER, landed a record deal right away, recorded an album and in 1977 the first single got released.
European tours and shows followed." The concert in April will feature Vandenberg performing songs from his bands WHITESNAKE, MANIC EDEN, MOONKINGS, as well as special guests joining him on stage.
In addition to these celebrations, a documentary, new album, and biography are also planned for release this year.
The details of these projects are set to be revealed soon.
Earlier this year, Vandenberg embarked on a tour called "My Whitesnake Years," celebrating his time with WHITESNAKE.
This tour marked 35 years since the band toured the world behind their album "Slip Of The Tongue." Vandenberg joined WHITESNAKE in 1987 and played guitar solo on their hit single "Here I Go Again." He also co-wrote the entire "Slip Of The Tongue" album.
Before his time with WHITESNAKE, Vandenberg made his international breakthrough with his own band VANDENBERG, known for their hit song "Burning Heart," and shared the stage with rock legends like OZZY OSBOURNE, KISS, and SCORPIONS.
After leaving WHITESNAKE, Vandenberg launched his new band VANDENBERG'S MOONKINGS and made a successful comeback in 2020 with his renewed VANDENBERG band.
