Joe Satriani and Steve Vai Announce 2026 North American SATCHVAI Band Tour
"The SATCHVAI Band rides again! After a fantastic European tour last summer Steve, Kenny, Marco, Pete and I will bring the Surfing With The Hydra Tour to the US. We can't wait to play you the new material from our forthcoming Satch/Vai album along with your favorite songs from our shared catalog. And that's not all, we're bringing along the incomparable Animals As Leaders. You do not want to miss this show with this lineup!"
"The SATCHVAI Band summer Euro tour of 2025 far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Joe and I struck pure jammin' gold night after night. Being in the same band with Joe, playing songs we actually wrote together on stage, in real time felt like watching a childhood fantasy step out of my teenage brain and stroll onto the stage. And somehow, it was even more rewarding, satisfying, and downright fulfilling than I ever thought possible."
SATCHVAI Band, fronted by guitarists Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, will embark on a 40-date North American Surfing with the Hydra tour from April 1 to May 30, 2026, visiting major markets including Seattle, Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, and New York City. Animals As Leaders will support the spring outing. The touring lineup features Kenny Aronoff (drums), Marco Mendoza (bass), and Pete Thorn (guitar). A Live Nation presale for most shows begins December 11 at 10 a.m. local time for All Access members, with a general on-sale via Ticketmaster on December 12 at 10 a.m. Local time. The run will showcase new material from a forthcoming Satch/Vai album alongside shared-catalog favorites.
