John 5 brings his genre-bending guitar work to Thekla in Bristol on 13 October 2026, drawing on alternative metal, bluegrass, country and flamenco. Known for intricate instrumental rock pieces, he moves between heavy riffs and rapid-fire picking with ease. Recent singles such as “The Ghost” and “Strung Out” sit alongside earlier cuts like “A Hollywood Story” and “Careful With That Axe”, giving this show a career-spanning feel. In the compact setting of Thekla, his technical playing and dynamic shifts in style are foregrounded, highlighting how fluently he moves across contrasting guitar traditions.
