John 5 Newcastle at Newcastle University Students’ Union
The Newcastle show takes place in the Students’ Union’s basement venue, giving the date a much closer feel than an arena-sized production. That should suit a performance where the guitar work itself is the main attraction and every change of pace is easy to follow from the room.
Dan Byrne is confirmed as special guest, adding another strong rock voice to the bill before John 5 takes over.
