They come from the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, Iceland and Switzerland. Their musical worlds span Blues, Rock, Psychedelia, Alternative, Vintage and Hard Rock. What unites them is a shared passion for the guitar and that is exactly what lies at the heart of KRISSY MATTHEWS’ GUITARMANIA.

British-Norwegian guitarist Krissy Matthews will take his unique live concept on an extensive tour across Europe once again. For the 2027 edition, Matthews has assembled an international line-up bringing together different generations, styles and personalities from the contemporary guitar scene on one stage.

Heading the list of special guests is Eric Gales. For decades, the US guitarist has been regarded as one of the most distinctive players in modern Blues Rock. His unmistakable style combines Blues, Rock, Funk and Soul with extraordinary technical ability and emotional intensity, making him a perfect fit for the spirit of GUITARMANIA.

Also returning are Russell Marsden, singer and guitarist of British rock band Band Of Skulls, and Oskar Logi, singer and guitarist of Iceland’s The Vintage Caravan — two musicians who have already become part of the GUITARMANIA family.

Joining them is American Blues Rock guitarist Eric Steckel, whose powerful and uncompromising sound bridges the worlds of Blues and Hard Rock. Swiss guitarist and producer Philipp “Phipu” Gerber also returns to the line-up, while British guitarist Rory Evans completes this remarkable international cast.
