Bonnie Raitt is coming back to celebrate! In 2023, just months after winning three GRAMMY Awards, including Song of the Year for “Just Like That,” Raitt embarked on a successful tour of England, Scotland and Ireland. Now in June 2025, Raitt will return to these favorite places (with a stop off on 17 th Jun at the Brighton Dome )just months after being celebrated for her lifetime of artistic achievements at the 47th Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, DC this December. Having performed here many times since the start of her career, including on the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test back in 1976 and several wonderful experiences collaborating with Jools Holland throughout the years, Raitt is eager to return and perform songs from across her catalogue.
Raitt made an unexpected splash in music industry headlines last month when Essex-native Charli XCX via her collaborator Justin Vernon sampled and interpolated “Nick of Time,” the title track from Raitt’s 1989 release that earned the GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year. The new track “I think about it all the time featuring bon iver” is included on Charli’s new remix album, Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat, and whose message about “running out of time” has resonated with younger generations just as it did for Raitt’s contemporaries 35 years ago. “Well, luckily, there are people like Charli and Justin who are drawn to my music,” Raitt says. “When I started, I was idolizing my heroes like Sippie Wallace, Muddy Waters, and Judy Collins, and now I get to be appreciated like they were. I’ll take it, and wear it with pride.”
Raitt has been touring extensively in the U.S., Canada, Australia, England, Scotland and Ireland since the release of her critically acclaimed studio album, Just Like That… in 2022. Raitt’s vigorous tour has taken her across the U.S. and Canada with stops overseas in Australia, England, Ireland and Scotland, since the release of her critically acclaimed studio album, Just Like That… in 2022.
