Guitarist JOHN 5 will bring his first-ever solo tour to the UK and Europe in May 2026. Apart from a few shows in 2016, this is John’s first real tour across these shores. For over 30 years, JOHN 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet. John has shared stages and recording studios with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meat Loaf, Dolly Parton, and more, and is now a member of Mötley Crüe. As a long-term fan of the guitar maestro, I am really excited about this and about what his shows will be like.



Since 2011, John has released over a dozen solo albums highlighting his unique style of playing that has entertained and mesmerised audiences around the world.  In 2025, John 5 released his latest album, which was the critically acclaimed “Ghost” – released in October 2025. Available HERE



The tour will feature twelve UK appearances along with shows in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and the Czech Republic.



John comments, “I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a tour than this one coming up. I haven’t been there in so long, and I can’t wait to say hello and have a great time with everyone. Super SUPER excited.”

They released their most recent EP in December of last year, a follow-up to their debut EP, Desolate Seas and Darkened Skies . The EP is ' As it is Above, 'So it is Below , and the five-track brings an intense new sound with soaring vocal melodies and heavy riffs. The band is described as metalcore , but I argue they lean more towards a modern, accessible metal route. The band are fronted by vocalist Alun Davies , guitarist Chris Tiday , bassist Adam Aldridge and drummer Alex Budge .

In the opening track, "As It Is Above," vocalist Davies’s soft vocal textures blend seamlessly with the fierce riffs and pounding drums. This combination conveys a sense of imploration, ...
