Who Is On Tour With Alice In Chains?
Alice in Chains: Back on the Road is Opening the Show?
Seattle's grunge pioneers Alice in Chains Tickets are unveiling their huge North American tour for next year that is to begin in January. The band will be performing songs from Rainier Fog, released in 2018, and Black Gives Way To Blue, released in 2009, and the tour will be held at arenas as well as amphitheatres in the United States and Canada.
William DuVall, who is the main vocalist, and Jerry Cantrell on guitar and vocals will be accompanied by Sean Kinney on drums and Mike Inez on bass"—the quartet that has been the nucleus of the Alice in Chains since the mid-2000s. Fans, on the other hand, should also prepare for some special guests and supporting bands that will be joining them on certain dates.
Bush is ready to Perform in Several Musicals
This is a list of cities and venues that Alice in Chains is planning to perform with Bush as the opening act"—Montreal, Detroit, St Louis and Dallas, among them. Bush made a strong debut in 1994 with their major-label debut "Sixteen Stone, which includes hit songs such as Glycerine and Machinehead.
Since the year 2000, Bush took a pause, but in 2010 they reunited and continue to release albums, three so far. These Canadians™ high-voltage stage charisma and a discography filled with more mainstream-friendly alt-rock hits should nicely prime the audience for AiC. Alice in Chains can be paired with Gavin Rossdale and company because the two bands have toured together before.
New bands, Breaking Benjamin and The Pink Slips, to perform
Looking at the above information, apart from Bush, Alice in Chains has gotten support from two other leading artists to back them up on some of the shows. Headlining the many dates are Pennsylvania's multi-platinum hard rock band Breaking Benjamin, fronted by Benjamin Burnley, for six dates in January and February.
Opening for Davies will be The Pink Slips, who will grace a few West Coast venues in March led by vocalist Grace McKagan, daughter of GnR's Duff McKagan. This rising LA band brings fresh young blood and feminity to the tour.
This way, every night can be a surprise with different guests arriving at the hotel.
Besides the opening acts mentioned here, Alice in Chains has asserted that they intend to swap and juggle support on a per-show basis. In a recent radio interview, Jerry Cantrell stated: There is nothing more exciting than having some cool people hanging around with you at different times and places on the way.
Previous Alice tours have had special guests pop in, ranging from metal titans like Metallica to perform with Alice remotely with country star Nancy Wilson or with Ann Wilson of Heart. Well, therefore, it cannot be surprising if a particular guest or two appears at any particular station. Twitter and Facebook could also hint at something: check it out in AI's social media accounts.
Kinney, Inez, and DuVall: The Rhythm Section is a British musical drama film released in 1998.
Although Cantrell plays most of the guitars himself, the base for Alice in Chains is their outstanding rhythm section. Early founding member and drummer Sean Kinney has provided the backbone for the band's sound right from the get-go, while effectively incorporating finesse into the equation. The band had about five bassists during their early tour, and Mike Inez replaced Mike Starr as a bassist in 1993 and remained with the band until 2010 with over two decades of service.
While he did not sign on with AiC until 2006, William DuVall is now officially recognized as a band member. His voice is simply yet soulful, and he is successfully able to capture the essence of the band and replace the sadly departed Layne Staley. Kinney, Inez, and DuVall are good enough to lay the groundwork for Cantrell to build upon and make his guitar riffs legendary. See them consolidate another incisive touring package in 2023.
Might a new album be in the process of being recorded?
There have been some recent murmurings that Alice in Chains hope to release an album soon, and that would be their first since 2018's Rainier Fog. As of now, there is no official word, but the band has been sharing snippets of songs they have been recording in the studio on their Instagram for the past year. It is always a possibility that they could trial some fresh, untested songs on their next tour.
The album is entirely dedicated to this cause, and Jerry Cantrell still carries the torch.
It's touring, however, that really brings out the best in this whole band, and remember, as far as Alice in Chains is concerned, Cantrell is still the man"—he is the soul, the spirit, and the biggest riff creator this band will ever know. All their most famous tracks are credited to Cantrell, and his distinct guitar sound along with his vocal style is very easily recognizable. This man has the uncanny ability of bringing out the finest of both worlds: delivering the cold, bone-crushing despair as well as the glory of rock with urgency and power, and most times within a single song.
Cantrell's personal modified G & L Rampage guitar, Wizard amps, and love for the music are responsible for Alice in Chains™ famous concerts. Now he looks charged up by the current lineup and is ready to wow everyone again in 2023. So, do not miss Jerry and the gang this winter and spring when they get on stage!
