L.A. Guns

On 28 October 2026, L.A. Guns will bring their Sunset Strip spirit to The 1865 in Southampton. Born out of the bubbling hard rock and glam metal scene of the 1980s, they forged a straightforward sound: sharp riffs, a heavy groove and blues-tinged ballads. Founded by guitarist Tracii Guns—who briefly played in the original line-up of Guns N’ Roses—and long anchored by Phil Lewis’s vocals, the band has spanned the decades while keeping its core: raw energy, catchy melodies and guitars up front. On stage the formula remains effective, mixing signature hits with more recent material, from the self-titled debut through Cocked & Loaded and Hollywood Vampires to later releases like The Missing Peace, The Devil You Know, Checkered Past and Black Diamonds. Expect a set that alternates rapid bursts, heavy mid-tempos and bluesier respites, delivered without frills.

On the bill, Sticks N Stones open the evening. The band charges the room with stage-ready guitar rock, setting the stage before L.A. Guns take over.
