Halestorms Lzzy & Joe

On 14 June 2026 at The Garage in Glasgow, Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger bring Halestorm into an unplugged frame. Formed in 1997 in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, the band built a hard rock language shaped by post-grunge, alternative metal and classic rock, with Lzzy’s voice upfront and Joe’s guitar as a sharp foil. Across albums—Halestorm (2009), The Strange Case Of... (2012), Into the Wild Life (2015), Vicious (2018) and Back from the Dead (2022)—their writing shifts between punchy riffs, electric ballads and darker hues, with a 2013 Grammy for Love Bites (So Do I) marking a key milestone.

In an acoustic setting, the duo pares everything back to melody, pulse and words, trading distortion for harmonic detail and dynamics. The format highlights the grain of Lzzy’s vocals, the precision of Joe’s phrasing and the structure of songs drawn from across their catalogue. It’s a close-up read of music usually built for volume, showing the core of their material when it’s stripped to guitar and voice.
