Dutch guitarist Adrian Vandenberg announces his 35 Year Anniversary Tour taking place across UK and Ireland in May 2025,celebrating ‘Whitesnake at Donington‘, one of Whitesnake’s most iconic and in demand shows, which at the time included Steve Vai, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge and David Coverdale.
Officially released as a live album, in 2011 after much fan demand, ‘Whitesnake at Donington‘ landed in 7 different charts in 5 countries including a top position of #5 in UK Rock & Metal Albums.
Exploding out of The Netherlands and onto the global scene with 1982’s self-titled Vandenberg, the Dutch phenomenon notched an international hit in the form of “Burning Heart,” paving the way for seminal releases such as Heading For A Storm [1983] and Alibi [1985]. The band canvased the United States, Europe, and Japan alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Rush, Scorpions, Michael Schenker, and many others.
Sought out to join Whitesnake, Adrian famously ripped the legendary lead on the 1987 recording of the #1 smash “Here I Go Again” which adorned the 8x-platinum Whitesnake and ended up touring the world’s largest arenas for a year-and-a-half when the 1987 album went through the roof in terms of sales. He co-wrote the entirety of 1989’s platinum Slip of the Tongue and spent the ensuing tour sharing axe duties with none other than Steve Vai. In addition to playing guitar on and cowriting Restless Heart from David Coverdale & Whitesnake, he performed hundreds of shows as part of the band for some twelve years.
