After heart attack onstage, Al Di Meola is bringing ‘Electric Years’ tour to Clearwater this weekend

The latter quarter of 2023 was a scary one for Al Di Meola.

While onstage in Europe, the 69-year-old began to suffer a heart attack. While he had the strength to walk offstage immediately, he had to postpone all tour dates.

The Return To Forever guitar whiz seems to be doing better, because not only is he bringing his “Electric Years” tour to Clearwater—in which he’ll revisit his days of working with Chick Corea and beyond—but he apparently has a new album set for release sometime this spring.

Tickets to see Al Di Meola play Clearwater’s Bilheimer Capitol Theatre  (405 Cleveland St.) on Saturday, Jan. 27 start at $50.
