Info
John 5 plays Thekla, The Grove, East Mud Dock BS1 4RB, on 13 October 2026. A fixture of US rock for nearly three decades, he’s known as Rob Zombie’s guitarist after earlier turns with Marilyn Manson and Rob Halford, and has worked across genres with K.D. Lang, Rod Stewart, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Tina Guo and Steven Adler. His solo set spans metal bite, quick-fire runs and twangy detours, shaped by early influences from KISS to Jimi Hendrix and refined over nine studio albums, plus a live and a remix record.
Since 2015 he has taken this material on the road as John 5 and The Creatures, a trio built for clubs and theatres. The show leans on structured instrumental pieces and riff-led themes, played with Ian Ross on bass and Logan Miles Nix on drums, drawing from releases like Season of the Witch, It’s Alive, Invasion and Sinner.
Opening, Liverpool-born singer and songwriter Dan Byrne brings a British rock blend of hard and classic rock with a touch of soul. Launched solo with the 2023 EP Beginnings, he mixes straight guitars, melodic hooks and a voice that balances power and nuance, cut for the stage as much as the studio.
