Bonnie Raitt to perform at the annual Levitt Pavilion fundraising gala

Bonnie Raitt to perform at Levitt Pavilion in Westport, Connecticut in August 2026 — Bonnie Raitt

Tickets are now available to the general public for the Levitt Pavilion gala concert featuring singer-songwriter and guitarist Bonnie Raitt on Sunday, August 9, 2026. General public ticket sales opened on Friday, June 19, following a member pre-sale period that began earlier in the week on June 16. The annual fundraising event is made possible by the lead sponsorship of the Arthur and Claudia Cohen Family Foundation.

The thirteen-time Grammy Award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is known for a musical style that blends blues, rock, R&B, and pop. Her breakthrough 1990s albums, Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw, produced well-known hit tracks such as “Something to Talk About” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Rolling Stone has named the slide guitar performer one of the greatest guitarists and singers of all time.

Over a career spanning more than 55 years, Raitt has accumulated numerous multi-faceted artistic accolades. She was named a Kennedy Center Honoree in the class of 2024, received the Billboard Women in Music Icon Award in 2022, and earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021. The performer has spent the better part of the last four years on tour, connecting with audiences across North America, the UK, Ireland, Europe, and Australia following the release of her 2022 studio album, Just Like That.
