LEGENDARY G’N’R BASSIST DUFF MCKAGAN ANNOUNCES INTIMATE SOLO HEADLINE
THE TOUR FOLLOWS THE RELEASE OF DUFF’S THIRD SOLO ALBUM
Following the successful release of his third solo album Lighthouse in October 2023, Duff McKagan is thrilled to announce a forthcoming headline UK and European tour in October 2024. Kicking off from Dublin, the series of shows will see the iconic musician play in fifteen cities in eleven countries bringing Lighthouse to life with his legendary live performances.
Best known for being one of the founding members of one of the biggest rock ‘n’ roll bands in the world – Guns ‘n’ Roses – Duff was last in the UK headlining 2023’s Glastonbury Festival. But like his legendary bandmate, Slash, it’s time for Duff to pursue his solo endeavors once again.
“At last! At last! See you all soon. #Lighthouse. Let’s go!” – DUFF MCKAGAN

“McKagan’s recent solo music channels the same outlaw spirit, but instead through acoustic twangs and a weathered voice – a lively meeting of reflective Americana and sonorous rock’n’roll.” – THE GUARDIAN
“Guns N’Roses bassist delivers full-beam brilliance on his third solo album.” – CLASSIC ROCK
The recently released Lighthouse (Expanded Edition) includes eight additional tracks along with three exclusive live performance videos filmed last December at Easy Street Records in McKagan’s hometown of Seattle, WA. Included in the additional tracks is a stripped-down acoustic rendition of the album standout, “I JUST DON’T KNOW,” transformed from its powerful original version into a soaring, reflective ballad which showcases the vulnerability of the lyrics and McKagan’s vocal performance.
The album can be streamed HERE or buy copies HERE
As a companion, Duff also released his first live full band performance of Lighthouse material. Shot at Easy Street Records in Seattle USA, the performance is available to view HERE
