John 5 is set to bring his guitar firepower back to Europe in May 2026, marking his first proper solo run across the region since a handful of appearances back in 2016. For fans of shred-heavy hard rock, this tour is shaping up to be a major moment.
With a career spanning more than three decades, John 5 has built a reputation as one of the most respected and versatile guitar players in the business. His resume includes time on stage and in the studio with names like Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meat Loaf, and Dolly Parton, and he currently holds down guitar duties as part of Mötley Crüe.
The upcoming trek will feature 12 dates across the U.K., plus additional stops in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and the Czech Republic, giving European fans plenty of chances to catch his solo performance up close.
John 5 shared his excitement in a statement: “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.”
Tickets and VIP meet-and-greets will officially go on sale Friday, February 13 at 10 a.m. GMT here.
