Steve Vai has announced a sprawling, 54-date U.S. tour that will run from January through April 2022.

The guitar virtuoso’s upcoming trek, the beginning of what he calls the Inviolate World Tour, will commence on Jan. 27 in Las Vegas and wrap on April 2 in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Sept. 17, and a VIP presale kicks off on Sept. 15. More ticket information can be found at Vai’s website.

Joining Vai on the road will be longtime guitarist and keyboardist Dave Weiner, bassist Philip Bynoe and drummer Jeremy Colson. You can see the full list of tour dates below.

"A performer thrives on performing," Vai said in a statement. "It's been my life for the past 49 years, with the exception of the last two years, so we are [champing] at the bit to get out there and play for people. A music concert has the ability to dissolve the many challenges we face, and celebrate one of the good things in life, live music."

Vai has kept busy during the coronavirus pandemic by working on a new studio album, the details of which will be shared imminently, according to a press release. In April, Vai also launched a Patreon page where he posts exclusive one-hour Q&As for paying subscribers. His “Alien Guitar Secrets Live” series also premieres on Patreon, giving fans a closer look at Vai’s guitar techniques and music business insights.
