John 5 (Mötley Crüe, ex-Rob Zombie) and Richie Kotzen (The Winery Dogs, ex-Poison, ex-Mr. Big) have announced a Fall 2025 US co-headlining tour.
The two guitarists will kick off the outing on October 16th in El Cajon, California, with co-headlining dates running through November 25th in Denver. The route will hit major cities such as Dallas, Orlando, and the Chicago area, among other smaller markets, and will be followed by a November 29th show in Pioneertown, California, that features John 5 only.
A Live Nation ticket pre-sale for select dates begins Thursday (May 15th) at 10 a.m. local time using the code FREESTYLE. General ticket sales start Friday (May 16th) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
“I’ve got a brand-new show and a whole bunch of songs we haven’t played in a long time, plus all your favorites,” enthused John 5 via a press release. “I’m super excited! I love touring with other great guitarists like Richie Kotzen! It’s gonna be a Noodle-Palooza.”
Added Kotzen, who’s coming off a new album with his Smith/Kotzen project: “I am very much looking forward to this USA tour, but what makes this even more exciting than last year‘s run of dates is that I’ll be out this time with my good friend John 5! I think this is going to be a great night not only for guitar fanatics but for general music lovers as well. I can’t wait to hit the stage this fall!”
Along with news of the tour, John 5 also revealed details on his forthcoming solo album, Ghost, including the October 10th release date. A single from the Barry Pointer-produced LP, “Fiend,” is set to drop Friday (May 16th), with a teaser available to stream below.
John 5 will also be busy this fall with his band Mötley Crüe. A planned spring Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM was postponed due to singer Vince Neil’s health, with the new dates taking place from September 12th through October 3rd. Tickets to those shows are available here.
