Tickets Will Be Honored On The New Date Tuesday, October 18 At 8 PM
| (CLEARWATER) Steve Vai has postponed his planned tour of North America until the Fall. This includes a stop at the Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on Tuesday, February 15. Tickets and VIP purchases will be honored on the new date, Tuesday, October 18 at 8 pm. Tickets are on sale now. The first U.S. leg of dates will now begin on Wednesday, September 28 in El Cajon, CA and wrap the first week of December. For a complete list off tour dates, please visit www.vai.com. |
Approximately one year ago, Vai underwent shoulder surgery to repair an injury. That procedure was successful, enabling him to record the upcoming studio album release of Inviolate (Favored Nations / Mascot Label Group). In preparing for the tour, it became clear that a new injury emerged that requires another surgery prohibiting the tour to be staged as announced.
Vai shares, “I’m gutted that we have to move this tour, but I also know it’s in the best interests for us and the fans that we do.”
Steve Vai is a virtuoso guitarist, composer and producer, considered by many as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. In over 40 years in the industry, Vai has sold over 15 million records, received three GRAMMY® Awards and recorded with music legends like Frank Zappa, David Lee Roth, Whitesnake and many more.
Vai has also toured extensively and recorded live projects with G3 (collaborating with different touring lineups including Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Lukather) and Generation Axe, a supergroup Vai formed with Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi. Vai is the author of Vaideology: Basic Music Theory for Guitar Players (Hal Leonard), his inaugural music theory book designed to help both beginners and veteran guitar players.
