Legendary guitarist, Uli Jon Roth is set to bring his Ultimate Guitar Experience Tour to North American stages in early 2016.

Joining him will be Andy Timmons (Danger Danger, Simon Phillips, Kip Winger) and Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck, Michael Sembello).

"I'm happy to say that there will two fellow great guitarists on tour with me this time; none other than the fabulous Jennifer Batten and the very talented Andy Timmons. Together we'll be celebrating the spirit of our favourite instrument - the electric guitar!" exclaims Roth and adds

"I'm really looking forward to this tour and I'm sure that between the three of us - and the audience - sparks will fly!"

All three guitarists will first play solo sets featuring their own music and then join together for a set. Uli's own set is to be drawn from his entire back catalogue, including his latest release, Scorpions Revisited as well as Transcendental Sky Guitar and will emphasize material from the Electric Sun period.

The six string hero will also present a new concept related to VIP pass holders. He explains in detail: "Each night, before the main concert and during soundcheck we are going to perform a dedicated Acoustika Concert, featuring different songs from those of the main event for the VIP Pass holders exclusively.

He continues, "This is an unusual idea, but I always felt that songs are benefiting greatly from being played in front of a live audience - before actually recording them - and I am sure that this will help us to galvanize things and to fully crystallize the new material that I have written.
