Legendary guitarist Slash is hitting the road with his brand new S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival Tour, a North American trek promising a potent blend of blues and rock royalty. Kicking off on 5th July in Bonner, Montana, the festival will snake its way across 27 cities before wrapping up on 17th August in Grand Prairie, Texas.
S.E.R.P.E.N.T. stands for Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality and Tolerance. Slash, a renowned admirer of the blues, aims to celebrate the genre's rich history while fostering a sense of community and social awareness. A portion of ticket sales will go towards supporting PLUS1.org, a non-profit dedicated to fighting racism, promoting equal rights and aiding children affected by war and poverty.
