Black Star Riders is a hard rock band formed in December 2012 by members of Thin Lizzy's then-current touring lineup, who chose to release new material under a fresh name out of respect for the late Phil Lynott. Fronted by Ricky Warwick and originally anchored by Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham, the band has released five studio albums and built a loyal following across Europe and beyond. Their 2019 album 'Another State of Grace' topped the UK Rock & Metal chart, and they have shared stages with Judas Priest, Def Leppard and Whitesnake.
Black Star Riders headlined a special show at KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton on November 15, 2024, to mark the 25th anniversary of UK radio station Planet Rock.
The band released the previously unreleased track 'Why Are The Rats?' in July 2024.
The core lineup of Warwick, Crane, Wood and St. John entered an indefinite hiatus in 2024.
Black Star Riders returned to touring across Europe in 2025-2026, with dates confirmed in Germany and Poland alongside Tyketto.
The band's fifth studio album, 'Wrong Side of Paradise', was released via Earache Records in January 2023.
