The Experience Hendrix Tour Returns in 2019
Dave Mustaine and Joe Satriani will lead the Experience Hendrix 2019 tour. The dates will also feature Dweezil Zappa, Eric Johnson, Jonny Land and many more so buy your tickets on time and honour the immortal Jimmi Hendrix.
The 2019 edition of Experience Hendrix Tour has just been announced and is described as the “Guitar Event of the Year” featuring some metal and rock superstars including Joe Satriani, the best-selling instrumental rock guitarist of all time, Megadeth founder and lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, Jonny Lang, Dweezil Zappa, Eric Johnson, Billy Cox, and much more.
That core group of musicians will be joined along the way by special guests including Taj Mahal, Los Lobos members David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas, and Isley Brothers member Ernie Isley.
These legendary artists will join together to pay homage to Jimi Hendrix with 30 performances in cities along the east coast, Midwest and southern states. The tour will kick off in Pompano Beach Florida and wrap up on 6 April in Wallingford, Connecticut.
Satriani described the tour as so much fun.
“The camaraderie between all the musicians on the show is magical. I’m so excited to play some deep Hendrix tracks in a power trio setting with Dug Pinnick and Kenny Aronoff!”
The Experience Hendrix Tour has been taking place on and off since 2004 and the last shows were on the West Coast in 2017. A single tribute show was held back in 2000 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but has grown to become a hugely anticipated fan event over the years. This is the twelfth edition of the tour and it is more than just a series of concerts, it is a celebration of a man who changed the face of music and influenced entire generations and culture.
“This year we’re shining a light on that diversity with artists who represent it across cultures and who also share a love for Jimi and his music. It’s exciting to be able to honour Jimi’s enduring legacy in this way,” said Janie Hendrix, CEO of Experience Hendrix L.L.C.
Mustaine feels blessed with this honour to pay homage to the guitar god himself. “Jimi Hendrix. An Innovator, and legendary musician, I am beyond honoured to do my part in this tribute to the immortal Jimi Hendrix and want to thank [EH Tour producer] John McDermott for inviting me to play along with such mind-blowing guitarists like Joe Satriani, and a personal favourite of mine, Eric Johnson. See you there!”
