Guitar anthems concert touring its 10th Anniversary Tour, recreating the sounds of five decades of guitar heroes with 35 authentic guitars.
The Story of Guitar Heroes comes to The Alban Arena on Friday 19 March 2027, as part of its 10th Anniversary Tour. It's a concert built around the guitar, and it's billed as the UK's No.1 guitar anthems show.
The set travels through five decades of music, starting with 1950s rock and roll and working its way up to the most influential guitar heroes of the modern era. Rather than focusing on one artist, the live band moves between different players and eras throughout the night. The names they cover run the length of the guitar's history: Hank Marvin, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Brian May, Jimmy Page, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Van Halen and Slash. If you've got a favourite from that list, there's a good chance they'll get a turn in the spotlight.
What sets this apart from a standard tribute is the gear. The musicians use 35 authentic guitars to recreate the specific sounds and tones of each legend, and they're known for the technical accuracy they bring to the playing. Time Out described it as "every lick expertly played by highly experienced, gifted musicians."
