The Aristocrats

On 30 May 2026 The Aristocrats perform at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. The international instrumental rock-and-fusion trio — Guthrie Govan (guitar), Bryan Beller (bass) and Marco Minnemann (drums) — builds compositions live that feel as tight as they are fluid. Themes roll into one another, time signatures shift, and there is room for improvisation without the groove being lost. Their set traces lines between prog rock and jazz fusion, with side trips into metal, blues, country and funk, as on The Aristocrats, Culture Clash, Tres Caballeros and You Know What...?, but with the extra edges and surprises they reveal on stage.

Expect melodies that surface and disappear, sudden dynamic turns and rhythms that challenge one another. Govan fires off precise parts and subtle tonal colors, Beller weaves melodic bass lines that simultaneously carry the foundation, and Minnemann moves effortlessly from driving grooves to quirky figures. No vocals, no detours: three musicians speaking their own language, with plenty of space for timing, texture and spontaneous twists.
