THIN LIZZY. Renegade Tour ’81. Official Concert Programme, signed by all 5 band members including Phil Lynott. With original fold-out poster.

Quarto. pp. 18. Original publisher’s pictorial wrappers, with full-colour illustrated covers featuring stylised portrait artwork of band members. Internally illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour photographic plates depicting the band on tour (Ireland, UK, Scandinavia, Europe), with captions. Complete with the original promotional poster (approx. 12” record size) issued with the programme. In very good condition with poster.

Signed by Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Snowy White, Brian Downey and Darren Wharton.

The accompanying poster is boldly signed by multiple members of Thin Lizzy, including Phil Lynott, together with other band signatures (likely including contemporaneous touring members such as Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, and Darren Wharton). Signatures executed in marker across the image, clear and well-spaced.

A scarce and highly desirable official programme from Thin Lizzy’s 1981 “Renegade” tour, representing the band at a pivotal late-career moment. The tour followed the release of Renegade (1981), during a period of evolving line-ups and increasing international prominence.

The programme captures the band visually and historically, combining: Tour photography across multiple countries, Retrospective narrative text on the band’s development, Individual band portraits and candid imagery, Contemporary design typical of early 1980s rock merchandising. Material relating to Thin Lizzy—and particularly to Phil Lynott, one of Ireland’s most important musical figures—remains highly collectible. Fully signed items from this period are notably scarce due to: Lynott’s early death (1986). The transitional nature of the 1981 line-up. Limited survival of complete programme + poster sets

The Renegade Tour ’81 marked one of the final major touring cycles featuring Phil Lynott before Thin Lizzy’s eventual disbandment in 1983. Memorabilia from this era is increasingly sought after, particularly signed material, as it represents the closing chapter of the band’s classic period. Comparable signed Thin Lizzy items (especially those including Lynott) have shown strong upward movement in the music memorabilia market, particularly when accompanied by original tour ephemera.
