Tommy Emmanuel at the ZMF 2026

For fans and guitar gourmets worldwide, Tommy Emmanuel's status as a driving force in the contemporary six-string scene is unassailable - and rightly so, given the instrumental and compositional superlatives that the Australian has always offered on studio albums and stages.
He will be demonstrating his fine art at a few select dates in Germany in summer 2026.

According to the legendary Eric Clapton, "the greatest guitarist I've ever seen", his work has taken the acoustic subgenre to a whole new level. Emmanuel has made sophisticated craftsmanship accessible to the mainstream with both stylistically diverse original compositions and cover versions of well-known songs.

In 2026, Tommy Emmanuel will once again embark on a world tour - together with "Best of Tommysongs", an artistic assessment that is both a retrospective and music for the future. The program includes Tommy classics set in stone as well as one or two surprises and, last but not least, a look at what Mr. Fingerstyle will have up his sleeve beyond 2026 ...

Tommy Emmanuel performs solo on stage. Just him and his guitar - that's all it takes for a great show. The audience can close their eyes and actually feel like they are listening to a whole band.
