After sold-out performances from the Sydney Opera House to Prague, Carnegie Hall to Iceland, internationally touring violin sensation Blue Violin returns with the 4th Annual Retro New Years Tour — an electrifying holiday spectacular blending the energy of an 80s arena rock show with the magic of the Holidays.
Featuring breathtaking cathedral projection mapping, and unforgettable violin performances, this cinematic production reimagines Holiday classics alongside the music of legendary artists like Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, Kate Bush, Wham!, Tears for Fears, and more.
From emotional holiday moments to crowd-on-your-feet rock anthems, Retro Rock & Roll New Years transports audiences through a nostalgic world of glowing cathedrals, epic rock energy, powerful singalongs, and unexpected surprises — culminating in Blue Violin’s internationally acclaimed performance of The Devil Went Down to Georgia.
Seen by over 20,000 audience members across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, Blue Violin’s Retro Rock & Roll New Years has quickly become one of the most unique and unforgettable holiday concert experiences touring today.
