Blackmore's Night set a March date at Bergen Performing Arts Center

After calling off the rest of their 2025 tour for medical reasons, Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night have a Saturday booked in Englewood on March 27.

A year ago, fans of Blackmore's Night got the kind of news nobody likes: the band was cancelling the rest of its tour. Now there's a date on the calendar within easy reach of Queens and the Bronx. Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night's band will play Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, N.J., on Saturday, March 27, 2027, at 8 p.m., with Wizard's Consort opening.

The show was announced last Tuesday, Nov. 3, and tickets are through Ticketmaster. BergenPAC holds 1,367, a seated theater where a band like this belongs.

The backstory is why this date matters. In October 2025, Blackmore's Night announced a run of U.S. dates for that November, as Blabbermouth and Consequence reported. Shortly after, the band called off the remaining 2025 shows, citing medical reasons, according to Guitar World and American Songwriter. Night had spoken publicly about Blackmore dealing with a series of health issues. For a guitarist whose name is attached to Deep Purple and decades of rock history, every live date now carries a little extra weight.

If you've never seen them, Blackmore's Night is not a Deep Purple tribute. It's the Renaissance-inspired folk project Blackmore built with Night, his wife and the band's singer, and the shows lean into that world. Fans have been known to dress for it. The draw is hearing one of rock's most recognizable guitarists play acoustic and electric with a lighter touch, alongside Night's voice, in a room built for listening.

That's what BergenPAC offers. A 1,367-seat theater is the right scale for music this detailed: big enough to feel like an occasion, small enough that the quieter passages land. For New Yorkers in Queens and the Bronx, Englewood is a short trip across the George Washington Bridge, which makes a Saturday night there easier than it sounds.

Wizard's Consort opens. With the headliner's recent history, it's fair to say no one should treat a Blackmore's Night show as something that will always come around again. The band has a date on the books, the room is the right size, and the ticket link is live.

If these songs have been part of your life for a while, March 27 is the night to go hear them. Show at 8.
