G3 2024 TOUR IS A WRAP!
Every musician who took the stage gave their all every night. There's no G3 without the bands standing with us, side by side, delivering their stellar, unrelenting, unique performances.
A big shout out to our amazing crew who got us to every gig, and made us look and sound great. And, to our brave special guests who added to the celebration that is at the heart of every G3 show.
Take a moment to check out the list of wonderful people who made this tour a reality*
Sharing the stage with Eric and Steve was a unique thrill: three different individuals going in different musical directions coming together to see what kind of guitar sorcery we could whip up fresh every night.
Cheers to ZZ for taking that first step on stage, a G3 stage no less, and nailing his first-ever live performance!
We filmed it. We recorded it. Stand by for more news on that...
