Hollywood glam rockers Steel Panther have today announced the huge news to Australian fans that seasoned guitar virtuoso John 5 will support their On The Prowl tour, hitting the country in October.
After many sold out and added dates across Europe and the US, Steel Panther are set to deliver On The Prowl down under with a series of shows kicking off at Metro City in Perth on October 18, before hitting AEC Theatre in Adelaide on October 21, Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on October 23 and Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on October 24, rounding off the tour in Melbourne at Margaret Court Arena on Saturday 26 October.
Friday 18 October – Metro City, Perth
Monday 21 October – AEC Theatre, Adelaide
Wednesday 23 October – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney
Thursday 24 October – Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane
Saturday 26 October – Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne
For almost 30 years, John 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet. As well as a guitarist for hire, ‘5’ has shared the stage as axe-man for Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Rob Halford and now Motley Crüe. He has also worked with an impressive array of names, from all walks of music, including KD Lang, Rod Stewart, Dave Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Ricky Martin, Dolly Parton and Lynyrd Skynyrd. To call John 5 a shredder does not do him justice. There’s little he can’t put his hand to.
On top of his experience as a session musician, ‘5’ has got a long list of world class collabs under his belt, including co-writes with the likes of Rod Stewart, Leah Andreone, Paul Stanley, Scorpions, and Mötley Crüe.
Now, he will be joining the planet’s most notorious, hilarious, and downright outrageous metal band, Steel Panther, on the Australian leg of their riotous On The Prowl World Tour. After a monumental run of US and European dates, America’s great musical export will bring their live show to Australian cities this October.
For the uninitiated – Steel Panther was formed in 2000. Hailing from Los Angeles, the epicentre for rock n’ roll in all its debauchery and glamour, they have established themselves as the world’s premier party band, melding hard rock virtuosity with parody and criminally good looks.
Steel Panther have released six full-length studio albums, sold out shows across the world, achieved platinum-level YouTube status, and appeared on high-profile television appearances such as Jimmy Kimmel Live, Larry King Now, Fox NFL Sunday and as semi-finalists on the 2023 Season 18 of America’s Got Talent.
The quartet — Michael Starr (lead vocals), Satchel (lead guitar), Spyder (bass), and Stix Zadinia (drums) — reach another level altogether on their sixth full-length album. Released in 2023, On the Prowl is a self-produced record, and namesake of their world tour, that includes singles ‘Never Too Late (To Get Some Pussy Tonight)’, ‘On Your Instagram’, ‘Friends with Benefits’ and the German chart topping smash, ‘1987’.
Steel Panther’s On The Prowl World Tour has been a runaway success globally, currently making its way through Europe and the US before trekking down under for Australia to join the fun. With their unique blend of humour, musicianship, and lowkey controversial presence, Steel Panther continues to redefine rock. Get ready, Australia – Steel Panther is coming, and it’s going to be one wild ride!
