THE CHORDS UK 'So Far Away' 45th Anniversary Tour + special guests

An Epic Journey Through the Blues – Turned All the Way Up

Experience a two-hour, high-voltage celebration of the blues — performed fully electric with roaring guitars, thunderous rhythms, and a rock ‘n’ roll edge. This is the blues supercharged: from its raw Mississippi Delta beginnings to the electrified sound that shook the world and inspired generations of rock and metal.

Led by Smokestack Black, the powerhouse project of acclaimed South African rock musician Ross Harding, the show pays tribute to the legends — Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and more — reimagined with driving electric energy and arena-worthy swagger.

Based on Harding’s acclaimed theatre production The House of Blues, this all-electric spectacle expands the vision into a full-blown blues-rock powerhouse, tracing the genre’s journey from the deep South to the stadium stage.

This isn’t just a concert—it’s an unforgettable journey through rock’s biggest hits.
