ERJA LYYTINEN – 50TH ROCK BLUES BIRTHDAY – TOUR 2026
Blues queen Erja Lyytinen will celebrate her 50th birthday with a tour in March 2026!
Internationally awarded guitarist-singer Erja Lyytinen has performed alongside some of the world's top guitarists, such as Sonny Landreth, Jennifer Batten and Joe Bonamassa, and has been the opening act for Tom Jones, Robert Plant and Carlos Santana.
Lyytinen is a live show firecracker who enjoys popularity both at home and abroad with her energetic approach and positive stage persona. The respected guitarist has received the Best Guitarist award at the European Blues Awards in 2017 and was ranked 2nd in Total Guitar magazine's 2020 readers' poll "10 Best Guitarists in the World Now"
In addition, Lyytinen has made history by becoming the first Finnish musician to be nominated for the Canadian Maple Blues Awards in 2022. The guitar solo from the Bad Seed single from the Waiting For The Daylight album, released in the same year, was voted 10th among the best guitar solos of 2022 in a Guitar World magazine reader poll.
In 2024, Lyytinen also received the Angel of Rock award from the British HRH Festival. Lyytinen's album Smell the Roses, released in the spring of 2025, has again received rave reviews in international media and has placed Lyytinen among the best blues/rock guitarists of our time.
In 2026, Lyytinen will turn 50 and the pace is only accelerating as the blues rocker tours Finland and the world! “I wanted to celebrate my upcoming 50th birthday by doing a celebration tour around Finland with my amazing band. We tailored the set list specifically for this tour and the concerts will feature many songs that I haven’t performed in a while. It’s time to celebrate achievements and accumulated experiences with friends and fans!”, says Lyytinen about her celebratory tour.
