Van Morrison Launches ‘Concert Vault’ and Unveils Limited Vinyl Edition of Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge
​

​Van Morrison is giving fans unprecedented access to his live legacy with the launch of the Concert Vault, a new online archive featuring full-length performances drawn from his personal collection.

The new platform arrives as part of a relaunch of Van Morrison’s official website and coincides with the release of a limited-edition vinyl pressing of his latest studio album, Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge. From today, fans can explore the revamped site and access exclusive concert recordings that capture the Belfast legend on stage in recent years.

Among the first major artists to launch a self-hosted archive of this kind, Morrison is offering fans a rare opportunity to experience complete performances that were previously only available to those in attendance.

The Concert Vault debuts with a full show recorded at Belfast’s Stormont Hotel, a fitting first release that reconnects the project with Morrison’s hometown and musical roots. Additional performances are expected to be added throughout the year, with future releases tied to significant dates and milestones.

The launch comes alongside a limited-edition vinyl edition of Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge, Morrison’s 48th studio album. Released earlier this year, the record has earned widespread critical acclaim, with reviewers praising its blend of blues, soul and masterful songwriting.

The album continues Morrison’s long-standing affinity for the blues, combining fresh original material with the rich musical influences that have defined his work for more than six decades. For collectors, the new vinyl pressing offers another opportunity to own one of the most celebrated releases of his recent career.

Demand has already proven strong, with a deluxe smoky gold and black vinyl variant selling out shortly after becoming available. Remaining limited-edition copies can be purchased directly through Morrison’s newly launched website.

The Concert Vault also arrives as Morrison continues an active international touring schedule. With performances planned across the UK, Europe and beyond throughout 2026, the archive offers fans who can't attend a chance to experience his live performances from home, while concertgoers can revisit memorable shows long after the final encore.

By combining exclusive archive footage, collectible vinyl releases and a packed touring calendar, Morrison continues to find new ways to connect with audiences while celebrating a catalogue that spans generations. The Concert Vault marks a significant addition to that legacy, opening the doors to a treasure trove of performances that have rarely been seen beyond the concert hall.
