Vandenberg Cancels Tour Amid Management Dispute
Dutch rock guitarist Adrian Vandenberg has announced the cancellation of his band’s planned October 2025 tour of the UK and Ireland.
In a statement on the band’s official Facebook page, Vandenberg said:
"Our ex-manager made huge financial and logistical miscalculations when he set up this tour last year and that makes it totally impossible to do this tour coming October.
Together with our new management we tried everything and anything within our possibilities to try to fix the multitude of mess-ups and made all efforts to still make the tour happen. But since we only found out about the details of this mess recently it just wasn’t possible to fix everything properly in time before October.
Right now our new manager is on the case, determined to set up a new Irish/ UK tour, which realistically will be in the first quarter of 2026.
According to Vandenberg, efforts are now underway to arrange a replacement tour, with dates expected in the first quarter of 2026."
Vandenberg rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his namesake band, Vandenberg, best known for the hit single Burning Heart. He later achieved international success as a member of Whitesnake, playing on the multi-platinum Slip of the Tongue album and touring worldwide with the group.
In recent years he has relaunched Vandenberg with new line-ups, releasing fresh material while also revisiting his Whitesnake years on stage.
