An Immersive Candlelit Journey Through Iconic Rock Anthems

“Rock and roll meets classical music in a gorgeously crafted hour of music.”


Step into a world of shimmering light, where legendary rock anthems are reborn through a single violin — played with the fire and intensity of a full band.


This is not just a tribute show. This is Blue Violin — a genre-defying, conservatory-trained virtuoso who has sold out venues from the Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall, and now brings his world tour to Australia, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S.


Often described as “Ed Sheeran meets Lindsey Stirling,” Blue Violin delivers fiery virtuosity and cinematic flair in every performance.


Blue Violin has been earning international accolades for genre-bending performances that blur the line between classical virtuosity and rock energy with appearances alongside artists including John Mayer and Paul McCartney.


Step into a world lit by over 1000 flickering candles — where legendary rock anthems are reimagined by one violin played with the intensity of a full band. This is not just a tribute show. This is Blue Violin — a genre-defying conservatory-trained virtuoso who has lit up stages from Carnegie Hall to Singapore and now brings his world tour to Australia Europe Asia and across the U.S.


In this electrifying solo candlelight concert Blue Violin transforms classic rock into cinematic soundscapes using live looping searing violin solos and explosive arrangements. The result: a visceral immersive performance that shatters expectations and stirs the soul.


Setlist includes iconic anthems like:


“Thunderstruck” – AC/DC

“Free Bird” – Lynyrd Skynyrd

“Kashmir” – Led Zeppelin

“Stairway to Heaven” “Clocks” “Hallelujah” and more


Critics call him “the best rock and roll violinist of a generation” and “electrifying” — and audiences from sold out shows around the globe agree. With a sound as bold as the flames surrounding him Blue Violin invites you to experience a night where rock meets ritual and violin meets firelight.
