John 5 Hits Uk And Europe This May 2026 For First Solo Tour

John 5 will bring his extraordinary talents to the UK and Europe in May 2026. Apart from a handful of shows in 2016, this is his first-ever solo tour in these territories.

For more than 30 years, John 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet, sharing stages and studios with names including Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meat Loaf and Dolly Parton. He is currently a member of Mötley Crüe.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a tour than this one coming up,” John 5 said. “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.”

Since 2011, John 5 has released a dozen solo albums showcasing his signature style. His latest record, Ghost, arrived in October 2025 and has been described as critically acclaimed in the press release.

Update: Today (15 April 2026), fans are advised that due to unforeseeable logistical issues, the first eight dates of the run have now moved to October 2026. Tickets remain valid for the new October dates, or fans can receive a full refund from the point of purchase.

Joining John 5 on all UK dates as special guest will be Dan Bryne, and in Europe, South Of Salem.
