Legendary Neoclassical Metal Guitarist Uli Jon Roth Shreds His Way to the Alamo City Next Year

It’s one thing to be able to shred on electric guitar. It’s another thing to elevate shredding to a true art form.

German guitarist Uli Jon Roth has done just that, crafting majestic sonic galaxies over the course of a catalog that spans 40-plus years. He rose to fame as the Scorpions’ lead guitarist and has since become revered as a pioneer of neoclassical metal.

Lucky for those with a taste for fretboard fury, Roth is coming to San Antonio for a show at the Tobin Center on Friday, May 8.

Tickets ($34.50-$64.50) are on sale now.
