Guns ‘N Roses guitar legend Slash will take the stage at The Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado, for a one-night-only performance with his blues band on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. 

This special event will be a significant  part of his nationwide S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Blues Festival, which officially launches on July 5th in Bonner, Montana. Only in Denver, the entire set will be streamed live globally on Veeps, offering fans who can’t make it out to the gig the chance to experience the guitarist’s blistering spin on the blues with his top-notch band featuring Johnny Griparic (bass), Teddy ‘ZigZag’ Andreadis (keyboards), Michael Jerome (drums), and Tash Neal (vocals/guitar).

Veeps All Access subscribers in the U.S. can access the show for free as part of their subscription; for fans outside the U.S., tickets to the livestream are now on sale for $14.99 here. The stream will begin at 9:30 PM.

A portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold from Slash’s forthcoming S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Blues Festival will be donated to several nonprofit organizations through plus1.org, including the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), The Equal Justice Initiative, Know Your Rights Camp, The Greenlining Institute, and War Child. These organizations align with the festival’s mission of Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance (aka S.E.R.P.E.N.T.), and to support and uplift marginalized communities and mental health initiatives.

The S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour is also part of the ongoing festivities surrounding the release of Slash’s killer sixth solo album Orgy of the Damned, which is out now on Gibson Records. Better than any of the new GNR songs, this star-studded blues album features collaborations with artists such as Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Chris Stapleton, Iggy Pop, Beth Hart, Gary Clark Jr., Billy F. Gibbons (ZZ Top), Paul Rodgers, Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), Demi Lovato, Dorothy and Tash Neal.
