Coinciding with the release of a limited-edition vinyl of his latest album Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge, Van Morrison is one of the first artists to make exclusive concert footage available via his own website.
Available from Friday 19th June at www.vanmorrison.com, and dubbed the ‘Concert Vault’, this unique resource will allow Van’s fans to access full performances from recent years.
Visitors to the newly reimagined Van Morrison website will be able to enjoy front row seats to many of his concerts, with the plan to release them periodically in line with key dates in the calendar.
The first show to be made available will be a performance from the Stormont Hotel in his hometown of Belfast.
The vault coincides with the launch of a limited-edition vinyl record of Somebody Tried to Sell Me a Bridge, the singer, songwriter and bandleader’s 48th studio album and one which has received fantastic reviews from media globally.
With the album released less than four months ago, this new limited edition will provide that rare opportunity to have Van’s unique sound pair with the timeless appeal of vinyl for his global fan base to enjoy, as he continues to perform across the UK, Europe and further afield throughout 2026.
The Concert Vault will be available to access with the launch of the new Van Morrison website on Friday, 19th June, when the limited-edition vinyl will also be able to purchase via the same site.
With a deluxe smoky gold and black vinyl having already sold out, fans are encouraged to not miss the opportunity to add this to their collection.
