Live Performance on Sunday 22 March at 4 PM
Following yesterday’s announcement that King Brasstards will perform on the Saturday, we are delighted to confirm that the legendary Antonio Forcione will take to the stage at Audio Show Deluxe on Sunday 22 March at 4 PM.
Antonio has performed at Audio Show Deluxe before and the reaction from visitors was extraordinary. The demand for his return has been nothing short of phenomenal. We were inundated with messages from attendees asking us to bring him back and so, as organisers, we want to give you more of what you enjoy. Booking Antonio for Audio Show Deluxe 2026 felt like the only sensible decision.
Audiences are guaranteed a powerful show filled with personality, wit, and musical virtuosity. Antonio Forcione is an artist in every sense of the word and is widely regarded as one of the most charismatic and unconventional acoustic guitarists performing today. With a collection of international awards and twenty albums released so far, he continues to stun audiences across the globe. His ability on stage has even led to him being described as the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar.
Whether performing solo, in a duo, as part of a trio, or with his celebrated quartet, Antonio’s concerts always captivate audiences. He breaks the mould of conventional guitar playing across jazz, Spanish, African, Brazilian, and improvised music, all delivered with ferocious virtuosity, passion, and humour.
Throughout his career Antonio has shared the stage and recorded with many of the world’s most accomplished musicians including Charlie Haden, Angelique Kidjo, Trilok Gurtu, Larry Coryell, and Diego el Cigala. He has also supported major artists such as Phil Collins, Bobby McFerrin, Zucchero, and Van Morrison.
As The Guardian wrote, “One of the greatest acoustic guitarists”.
If you missed his previous appearance, you will not want to miss this one. Join us on Sunday afternoon for what promises to be a standout moment of Audio Show Deluxe 2026.
