Torbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado

Thursday 2 April

Danish roots-rockers Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado have been playing up a storm for over twenty years. Formed in 2003, the band has blazed a trail across Scandinavia, Europe, Canada, the US and Asia, captivating crowds with their sound that fuses soul, Chicago blues, boogie and rock ‘n’ roll. Spending nine to ten months of each year on the road, these musicians know how to take over a stage, filling it easily with seven or even eight members. The multi-award-winning ensemble has opened for Bonnie Raitt and the Tedeschi Trucks Band, among many others. Their ninth studio album, House Of Sticks, saw the light in early 2025; a new live album is due in June.
