About: Adrian Belew

A guitarist who spent nearly three decades co-leading King Crimson alongside Robert Fripp, Belew built his career on sounds no one had heard from a guitar before - and kept touring and recording well into his seventies. His 2026 European run with the supergroup BEAT brings that legacy back to the stage.
