Satriani recently made the very tough decision to once again reschedule his European tour. Originally scheduled to take place in 2020 it had been rescheduled to begin in April 2022. However, with the current Covid restrictions and quarantine mandates not yet standardized throughout the World, it has been decided that the best path forward is to reschedule once again. The new tour dates will now be moving to 2023.
These newly rescheduled shows are now set to begin on April 1, 2023, in Oslo, Norway and wind up on June 4th in Bordeaux, France.
Fans who are holding tickets for these shows, originally planned to take place in April, May and June 2022, will be honoured for the rescheduled dates.
Joe’s rescheduled UK concerts have been moved to May 2023. The rescheduled UK dates include Birmingham Symphony Hall (Friday 12 May), Gateshead, Sage Hall 1 (Saturday 13 May), Manchester, Bridgewater Hall (Sunday 14 May), Glasgow, O2 Academy (Monday 15 May), Bexhill, De La Warr Pavilion (Tuesday 16 May), and London Palladium (Wednesday 17 May).
His current band features celebrated drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Fogerty) bassist Bryan Beller (Aristocrats) and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte (Thirsty Merc) with Joe Satriani on guitar.
