JOE SATRIANI Pushes Back European Tour To Spring 2023

March 11, 2022

World-renowned guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani has made the very tough decision to once again reschedule his European tour. Originally scheduled to take place in 2020, it had been rescheduled to begin in April 2022. However, with the current COVID-19 restrictions and quarantine mandates not yet standardized throughout the world, it has been decided that the best path forward is to reschedule once again. The new tour dates will now be moving to 2023.

These newly rescheduled shows are now set to begin on April 1, 2023, in Oslo, Norway and wind up on June 4, 2021 in Bordeaux, France.

Fans who are holding tickets for these shows, originally planned to take place in April, May and June 2022, will be honored for the rescheduled dates.

Satriani will release his new album, "The Elephants Of Mars", worldwide on April 8 via earMUSIC. His current band features celebrated drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Fogerty) bassist Bryan Beller (ARISTOCRATS) and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte (THIRSTY MERC),with Satriani on guitar.

Satriani had an admirably productive workingman's holiday, with pandemic forced time away from the road, that ultimately gave him and his touring band, all recording remotely in separate areas of the world during lockdown, the ability to deliver an album length journey that never dulls.

The guitarist challenged himself to create a "new standard" for instrumental guitar albums to be measured against, one which would work from "a new platform of his own design," as he terms it. "I want to show people that an instrumental guitar album can contain far more creative and entertaining elements than I think people are using right now."

From the gripping, sci-fi madness of "Through A Mother's Day Darkly" to the isolation felt in a decaying urban landscape, as depicted in first single "Sahara" to the general endorphin levels that peak as the elephants finally roar in the title track, "The Elephants Of Mars" will stampede across your mind, leaving a sonic imprint that doesn't fade.
