Nicko will compère the event and will be joined by the world’s most legendary guitarists, acclaimed musicians and Marshall enthusiasts including multiple Grammy nominee and Chickenfoot super-group founder Joe Satriani, Ozzy Osbourne collaborator and founder of Black Label Society Zakk Wylde, technical wizard and one of GuitarOne magazine’s "Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time" Mr Big’s Paul Gilbert, Whitesnake’s Doug Aldrich and Brian Tichy, Swedish virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen, The Cult’s Billy Duffy and Slipknot/Stone Sour front man Corey Taylor (small pic). That's not all...Stay tuned for the announcement of further big names soon!
 
Speaking about the forthcoming event, Nicko commented: “This is truly a celebration of a British Icon - Marshall. Beyond doubt, Jim Marshall and the team have shaped the sound of rock music for eternity! Words cannot describe how pioneering Marshall is ! I feel more than privileged to be involved in this event. We’re bringing together beyond-legendary artists for a moment in history. Expect pure rock n roll madness amplified to the max by Marshall! ”
 
Starting life in a drum shop in Hanwell as the brain child of Jim Marshall, the Marshall amp was designed to help create a richer sound for guitarists who were unable to afford the expensive, US Fender amplifiers. With a small team of musicians, Marshall produced his first amplifier in 1962. Fifty years after he sold his first JTM45, four generations of guitarists and fans revere the name. Marshall Amps have defined the sound of rock and are prized by rock guitarists of every age and style.
 
For half a century now, Jim Marshall OBE and the Marshall team have been shaping the sound of rock on stage and in the studio with artists as diverse as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Gary Moore, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Zappa, Richie Kotzen, Trivium and countless others.
 
Paul Marshall, Head of Artist Liaison and part of the Marshall dynasty commented: “Artists play a massive role in the company, and are very much part of the ‘Marshall Family’. Over the five decades of Marshall’s history, practically every guitar hero has used Marshall, Richie Blackmore, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, Slash, the list goes on…. This event is a celebration of the Marshall family and we are honoured so many artists want to get involved!”
 
Celebrating over five decades of guitar amplification, Marshall plans a very special Golden Anniversary and welcomes a stellar line-up of artists for what promises to a never-to-be forgotten event!
