John 5

For almost 30 years, John 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet. As well as a guitarist for hire, 5 has shared the stage as axe-man for Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Rob Halford. He has also worked with an impressive array of names, from all walks of music, including KD Lang, Rod Stewart, Dave Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Tina Guo and Steven Adler. To call John 5 a shredder does not do him justice. There's little he can't put his hand to. Due to unforeseeable logistic issues, the John 5 show at Thekla scheduled for May has been rescheduled to October 2026. Existing tickets for the show remain valid, and new tickets are still available for purchase. Joining John on all UK dates as special guest will be Dan Bryne.
