One of the all-time guitar greats set to strike a chord with audience at Sage

LEGENDARY guitarist Jeff Beck is poised to embark upon a UK tour in May and June 2022, which includes a date at The Sage.

The Grammy award-winning musician’s tour will be at the Gateshead venue on Friday, June 3. Having cultivated one of the most influential careers in rock history, Jeff Beck is acknowledged as one of the most talented and significant guitarists in the world, and has played alongside some of the greatest artists of rock, blues and jazz.

Over the course of his distinguished 50-plus year music career, he has earned eight Grammy Awards, been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” and been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice – once as a member of the Yardbirds and again as a solo artist. In the summer of 2016, the guitar virtuoso celebrated his five decades of music with an extraordinary concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl.

Beck replaced Eric Clapton as the Yardbirds’ lead guitarist in 1965, playing for a while alongside Led Zeppelin founder Jimmy Page, and later went on to form The Jeff Beck Group, which featured

Rod Stewart on vocals and Ron Wood on bass. Their two albums – Truth and Beck-ola – would become musical touchstones for hard rockers in the years to come.
