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 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.

ABOUT BONNIE RAITT

Bonnie Raitt is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop. After 20 years as a cult favorite, she broke through to the top in the early 90s with her GRAMMY-award-winning albums, Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw, which featured hits, “Something To Talk About” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me” among others. The thirteen-time GRAMMY winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”

2023 kicked off with Raitt earning three GRAMMY™ Awards at the 65^th Annual ceremony; Song Of The Year and Best American Roots Song for the title track of her most recent album “Just Like That…”, and Best Americana Performance for “Made Up Mind.” Raitt was as well acknowledged for the Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award she was honored with the year prior. Raitt has been on tour for most of 2023 and 2024 with stops in the U.S., Australia, the UK, Ireland, Scotland and Canada.

2022 was as well an incredible year for Raitt with a 75-date headlining U.S. tour; the release of her critically acclaimed 21st album ‘Just Like That…,’ on her independent label, Redwing Records; receiving the Icon Award at this 2022’s Billboard Women In Music Awards and seeing her breakthrough album, ‘Nick of Time’ added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry. ‘Just Like That…’ was #1 on six Billboard charts the week of release and was perched at #1 on the Americana Radio Album Chart for ten consecutive weeks. The album’s first single, “Made Up Mind” remained in the top three spots on the Americana Radio Singles Chart for 17 weeks.

As known for her lifelong commitment to social activism as she is for her music, Raitt has long been involved with the environmental movement, performing concerts around oil, nuclear power, mining, water, and forest protection since the mid ‘70s. She was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy), which produced the historic concerts, album and film NO NUKES (1979,) as well as a founding member of The Rhythm and Blues Foundation, which works for royalty reform and recognition of generations of pioneer R&B artists. She continues to work on safe energy issues in addition to environmental protection, social justice, Native American and human rights, as well as artist’s rights and music education.
