Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash is hitting the road again, this time with a traveling blues festival with an impressive lineup of supporting acts. The S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival will hit dates across the US and Canada. Different supporting artists will accompany Slash on the tour for varying dates, including Warren Haynes, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, Keb’ Mo’, Jackie Venson, ZZ Ward, Robert Randolph, Larkin Poe, and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram.
S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival 2024 will kick off on July 5 in Bonner, Montana at KettleHouse Amphitheater. Pending extra tour dates, it should end on August 17 in Grand Prairie, Texas at Texas Trust CU Theatre.
The Guns N’ Roses guitarist revealed in a post on his social media that he’s set to share details about a blues-themed solo album he’ll be releasing soon.
“I’m a rock guitar player that’s firmly rooted in blues,” Slash says in a voice-over accompanying the video. “Blues guitar is really something that I got turned on to when I was a kid. If you were to listen to anything that I do, you can see how big the blues influence is, and I’d always thought that I’d want to record a record at some point. And we got together and did it.”
The tour. Part of a much larger global trek called The River Is Rising Rest of the World Tour 2024, the tour opens at Dublin 3Arena on Thursday 28th March 2024.
Slash and co. then hit England for shows at Birmingham Resorts World Arena on (Sat 30th March), Newcastle O2 City Hall (Sun 31st March), Manchester AO Arena (Tue 2nd April) and London OVO Arena Wembley (Fri 5th April).
