Slash Announces North American Tour

Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators -- Myles Kennedy (vocals), Brent Fitz (drums), Todd Kerns (bass) and Frank Sidoris (guitar) -- have announced a fall headlining tour starting Sept. 4 in San Diego, Calif. and wrapping Oct. 3 in Los Angeles, Calif.

The exclusive presale for Citi card members starts Tuesday, July 3. Citi card members will also have special access to tickets as well as VIP experiences at http://www.citiprivatepass.com/. A limited amount of VIP packages--including a chance to meet SLASH and get an autographed guitar--will also be available for fans during the pre sale which begins Tuesday, July 10. General public on sales will begin Friday, July 13. Ticket info will be available at http://slashonline.com/tour/. See the tour dates below.

The tour is in connection with the success of Slash's second solo studio album, Apocalyptic Love, which stormed onto the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart at #4, marking the top rock debut that week.

For the tour, Slash teamed with Guitar Center–the world's largest music retailer-–to offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity to twenty unsigned American bands. 20 bands will be hand-selected to be Slash's opening acts and will perform on the fall tourin the cities closest to their hometown. At the end of the fall run, one of the opening bands will be named by Slash as the grand prize winner of Guitar Center On-Stage. Not only will the bands be opening for one of the world's greatest guitarists, but they will also receive a tour support prize pack that includes gear from Ernie Ball, Zoom, Dunlop, Monster Cable, Pro-Mark, and Converse. The top performing band on the tour, as selected by Slash, will be named the grand prize winner and take home $10,000 in guitars from Gibson and Epiphone, plus a $5,000 shopping spree at Guitar Center and more. The 20 bands will be announced in August.
