Incendiary guitarist and solo artist John 5, who was recently voted as #7 on Ultimate Guitar’s “Best Metal Guitarists In The World” list, has announced today that he will be hitting the road, along with his band, The Creatures, in the spring of 2022 for the “Sinner” North American tour. He will be performing hits from his expansive solo career, including songs from his recently released, critically acclaimed studio album Sinner.
The 27-date trek will kick off in Roseville, California on April 21 and will culminate in a very special three-night run at Iridium in New York in early July. It also includes two shows supporting Fozzy in Houston (April 29) and San Antonio (April 30) and a performance at world-renowned festival Welcome To Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL (May 21).
John 5 will also be welcoming a new “creature” to the band. The “Sinner” tour will be the first time fans get to see new drummer Alex Mercado perform live as part of The Creatures.
Special guests on most dates will be spooktacular duo The Haxans, featuring John’s Rob Zombie bandmate Piggy D and Ash Costello of New Years Day.
John 5 comments: “I’m so excited to hit the road and see old friends and new friends alike.
“I’ve been so thrilled by the reaction to the release of Sinner, I can’t wait to get on stage and truly bring the songs to life for the first time with my fans.
“Having The Haxans join us on this tour is going to be so fun. Their brilliant ‘monster party’ energy will be a perfect opener for my crazy stage show.
“This tour is going to be a lot of fun. Don’t miss it!”
