- Eric Burdon Announces One-Night-Only Global Farewell Concert: “The Final Roar”
In what fans around the world are calling the most anticipated announcement of the decade, legendary rock and blues icon Eric Burdon has revealed plans for a one-night-only global farewell concert, titled “The Final Roar.” Set to take place this autumn in Athens, Greece, where Burdon now resides, the concert will be live-streamed worldwide and feature a once-in-a-lifetime setlist spanning his entire career—from The Animals and War to his solo work.
At 83, Burdon had previously announced his retirement from live music following health challenges and the loss of longtime collaborator Alan Price. However, after months of reflection and overwhelming support from fans, Burdon said in a statement, “I owe it to the music and the people who’ve stood by me all these years to say goodbye the right way—with fire, soul, and love.”
The concert promises a mix of classics like “House of the Rising Sun”, “Spill the Wine”, and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, alongside special guest appearances and orchestral arrangements. Rumors suggest surprise collaborations with modern artists influenced by his sound, possibly including Jack White, Gary Clark Jr., and even a virtual duet with the late Ray Charles.
In addition, a commemorative vinyl box set and a behind-the-scenes documentary titled “Roar: The Last Word of Eric Burdon” will be released in tandem with the concert.
For fans who’ve followed his six-decade journey, this news is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of a voice that roared through history and a final chance to experience the legend live.
Tickets and streaming access will be announced via his official website in the coming weeks.
