The "Experience Hendrix" tour has seen its fair share of guitar gods saluting the late great Jimi Hendrix over the years, and in 2019 the annual tour will feature Megadeth's Dave Mustaine for the first time.

Mustaine says, "Jimi Hendrix. The name that comes to my mind as one the 'Premiere American Guitarists of All Time' -- an innovator, and legendary musician, I am beyond honored to do my part in this tribute to the immortal Jimi Hendrix, and want to thank [EH Tour producer] John McDermott for inviting me to play along such mind-blowing guitarists as Joe Satriani, and a personal favorite of mine, Eric Johnson. See you there!"

Joining Mustaine on this run will be the aforementioned Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson, as well as blues great Taj Mahal, Ernie Isley of the Isley Brothers (a band who once employed Hendrix as their lead guitarist) and Dweezil Zappa. In addition, Billy Cox from Hendrix's Band of Gypsys and Jonny Lang, who have frequently participated in the run, will return in 2019. Additional players during the run include dUg Pinnick of King's X, Chris Layton of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble, Mato Nanji, Kenny Aronoff, Slide Brothers, Henri Brown, Kevin McCormick, Los Lobos' David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas and Ana Popovic.

Satriani, who has formed a trio with Pinnick and Aronoff, says, "The Experience Hendrix Tours are always so much fun. The camaraderie between all the musicians on the show is magical. I'm so excited to play some deep Hendrix tracks in a power trio setting with dUg Pinnick and Kenny Aronoff!!!"

"The tour is more than a series of concerts," said Janie Hendrix, CEO of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. "It's a celebration of a man whose amazing gift changed the face of music and informed an entire culture. His influences were varied and diverse. And this year we're shining a light on that diversity with artists who represent it across cultures and who also share a love for Jimi and his music. It's exciting to be able to honor Jimi's enduring legacy in this way."
