Joe Satriani, one of rock music’s most respected and celebrated electric guitar players, will undertake a 10-date UK tour starting Saturday 8th June at the Manchester Apollo. This will be Satriani’s first UK tour since the Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards Tour 2010.
Tickets go on sale from Friday 2nd November and can be booked online from www.ticketline.co.uk or call 0844 888 9991 or the venue direct.
Very special guest is blues guitarist Matt Schofield.
The tour coincides with the news that Satriani will record a new solo album later this year for a worldwide release via Sony in May 2013. The enterprising guitarist is also in the planning stages of releasing a career retrospective box set for spring 2013.
On 22nd September 2012 Satriani performed at the Marshall 50 Years Of Loud tribute concert in honour of the late Jim Marshall, at London’s Wembley Arena which also included Paul Gilbert, Zakk Wylde, Glenn Hughes, Yngwie Malmsteen, Doug Aldrich, Billy Duffy, Nicko McBrain, Corey Taylor, Brian Tichy, Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens, Mike Portnoy, Andy Fraser and Kerry King.
