Periphery’s Misha Mansoor joins UK Guitar Show line-up
Prog-metal mainstay set to perform and deliver guitar masterclass
One of djent and prog-metal’s leading lights, Periphery founder Misha Mansoor, is the latest act to join the line-up for the UK Guitar Show.
Best known for his punishing extended-range riffs and respected ear for production, Mansoor will not only perform at the show but also deliver a guitar masterclass, spanning technique and tone.
Mansoor is a self-professed gear nut, having founded pedal company Horizon Devices and lent his name to signature gear with Jackson and Bare Knuckle, as well as amp R&D with Peavey.
The guitarist joins Irish blues-rocker Simon McBride and folk legend Martin Simpson, with more names soon to be announced.
Brought to you by the organisers of the London Drum Show and the London Bass Guitar Show and in association with MusicRadar, Guitarist, Total Guitar and Guitar Techniques, the UK Guitar Show is set to be the ultimate weekend celebrating all things guitar.
A host of the world’s biggest guitar brands are set to showcase their gear, while a wide range of big-name players will perform on the main stage and as part of acoustic masterclasses.
The event takes place across 29 and 30 September at Olympia London.
