Led by the world's top guitarists, the Experience Hendrix Tour will have you vibing, cheering, and banging your heads to the world's best guitar-driven anthems. Returning for a 2025 trek, this year's shows will see the return of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Zakk Wylde with a roster of special guests - Marcus King, Eric Johnson, Devon Allman, Noah Hunt, Ally Venable, Chuck Campbell & Calvin Cooke, Mato Manji, Dylan Triplett, Henri Brown, Chris Layton, and Kevin McCormick. They're all coming together in one stage, all for the love of rocking their guitars, paying homage to Hendrix's legacy.
This is the best way to experience Jimi Hendrix's music live on stage today. It isn't a tribute show where they replicate the man himself, it's all in the name of giving justice to his great work. You can expect a setlist packed with his big hits and all-time fan favorites. Presenting a diverse lineup of artists, they'll all bring fresh and unique flairs to Hendrix's timeless discography.
"I’m excited to be a part of the Experience Hendrix Tour again," Shepherd shared via an official release. "This tour always offers fans a unique opportunity to see artists from multiple genres of music all honoring the great Jimi Hendrix. The diversity of the artists that take part every year only goes to show the vast reach of Jimi Hendrix’s influence."
His influence definitely reached international waters, shaping artists who just want to rock it out. Described as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the man is a pioneer and a legend - with a slew of honors including "World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970" by Disc and Music Echo, "Rock Guitarist of the Year" by Guitar Player, his records making it to Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and ranking as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
"Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began," Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone shared, as the man is largely credited to be the first musician to use various effects and techniques such as stereophonic phasing effects.
"The ferocity and aggression Hendrix played with was what I was immediately drawn to," King shared. "A soft-spoken man allowing his instrument to truly be his VOICE — channeling all his frustrations and pain through this vessel. I’m so honored to pay homage and respect to such a Giant and key contributor to my musical biological makeup."
