This summer, legendary guitarist Slash is set to bring his latest blues album to life on stage with a traveling festival. Dubbed the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival, an acronym for Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance, will tour 27 cities in states across the U.S., including Texas.
The festival kicks off on July 5th in Bonner, Montana, and concludes on August 17th in Grand Prairie. Tickets go on sale starting Friday.
Slash will be accompanied by his blues band, featuring bassist Johnny Griparic, keyboardist Teddy ‘ZigZag’ Andreadis, drummer Michael Jerome, and singer/guitarist Tash Neal. Several other musicians will join him, including the Warren Haynes Band, Keb’ ‘Mo, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Robert Randolph, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, ZZ Ward, Jackie Venson, and Larkin Poe. Attendees can expect a diverse array of performances, as the lineup will vary from city to city.
A portion of the proceeds from both VIP and general ticket sales will be donated to charitable organizations including The Equal Justice Initiative, Know Your Rights Camp, The Greenlining Institute, and War Child.
