Slash's new S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival will tour North America this summer.
The inaugural all-star roadshow will celebrate blues music and feature Slash performing with special guests on select dates throughout the six-week run, including Warren Haynes, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, ZZ Ward, Larkin Poe, Jackie Venson and more. The trek's name is an acronym for 'Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Equality N' Tolerance'.
The shows will kick off on July 5 in Bonner, Montana, and conclude on August 17 in Grand Prairie, Texas. On all dates, the Guns N' Roses guitarist will be accompanied by his blues backing band, featuring bassist Johnny Griparic, keyboardist Teddy ‘ZigZag’ Andreadis, drummer Michael Jerome, and singer-guitarist Tash Neal. Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time on Friday (March 15). Slash said:
"The S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour is a celebration of blues and rock ‘n’ roll music, and a celebration of unity and togetherness in these uncertain and divisive times. S.E.R.P.E.N.T is a vehicle to help support and uplift people and communities suffering from the injustices of racism and equal rights violations, as well as to support children adversely affected by war and poverty across the world. So, we are contributing a portion of every ticket and VIP package sold from the tour to those ends. S.E.R.P.E.N.T. will also provide an environment where folks can get together for a day of great music and hang out and have a good time."
The veteran rocker will release his star-studded, blues-focused sixth solo album, 'Orgy of the Damned', on May 17. Last week, he shared the first single, a cover of Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor featuring Brian Johnson on vocals and Steven Tyler on harmonica.
The guitarist will resume touring with his long-running band with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators later in March. The UK and European leg of The River Is Rising - Rest of the World Tour ’24 will commence in Dublin at the end of this month, before stops in Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow and London.
Following the UK and Ireland dates, the rock band will visit cities in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg and France.
Slash, Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators' latest album is 2022's '4'.
