Shred Icon Returns to the Road for a Long-Overdue Headline Run
After decades of sharing stages with rock royalty and releasing jaw-dropping solo records, John 5 is finally heading out on his first-ever full solo tour of the UK and Europe in May 2026.
Best known for his searing work with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth, and currently as guitarist for Mötley Crüe, John 5 has also carved out a celebrated solo career with twelve albums that showcase his mind-bending versatility—ranging from metal to country to flamenco.
Though he made a few solo stops in the UK back in 2016, this marks the first time fans across the UK and Europe will see a full headlining tour from the guitar virtuoso.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a tour than this one coming up,” says John. “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.”
The trek will include twelve UK dates, along with select shows in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Expect a blistering showcase of guitar wizardry, deep cuts, fan favourites, and surprises.
VIP meet and greet packages and tickets are available now at john-5.com.
