What’s Goin’ On

All the best guitar events happening over the next few weeks, in one place

Country To Country Festival 10 to 12 March London, Glasgow, Dublin

As Stateside country stars hit three cities again this year, the biggest draw will be one of the genre’s finest players and former Guitarist cover star Brad Paisley. The Tele-picker is making up for cancelled Dublin and London shows last year and celebrating next month’s Love And War album by headlining the O2 Arena on Friday, Dublin 3Arena on Saturday, and Glasgow Clyde Auditorium on Sunday. All three days for the Glasgow stop have already sold out – a clear indication of just how popular country music is becoming here. Away from fellow established artists and headliners Reba McEntire and the Zac Brown Band, there’s also successful Stateside mainstream country artists showcased including Chris Young, Cam and young multi-instrumentalist Hunter Hayes. But us fans of rockabilly-spiked country of the more classic kind should make a beeline for Marty Stuart.
