ROCK-FUSION TRIO THE ARISTOCRATS ANNOUNCE
LONG-AWAITED EUROPEAN TOUR FOR SPRING OF 2026
CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED ALBUM “DUCK” CONTINUES TO THRILL
(Los Angeles, CA) – After a wild 12-week run across Australia, Asia and North America, a first-ever performance on the “Cruise to the Edge”, and an upcoming tour of South America next August, the world’s most raucous rock/fusion instrumental trio is set to return to Europe in the Spring of 2026 to complete the DUCK World Tour. The Aristocrats – Guthrie Govan/guitar, Bryan Beller/bass, Marco Minnemann/drums – will bring their trademark musical virtuosity and inherent absurdity back to stages across the Old Continent, where they’ll be playing a sizable chunk of their new concept album DUCK as well as classic cuts from their five-album catalogue.
“Europe has always been very special for us,” the band said in a unified voice, “and it was the very first continent we properly toured, back in 2012. Right from the beginning we could feel the love and support for what we were trying to do. Thirteen years and many tours later, it’s still special. And now we’re finally bringing our DUCK album show to the people who have been asking for it for over a year now. Europe, we’ll be there soon and hope to see you there!”
DUCK is, quite improbably, an instrumental concept album about an Antarctic duck fleeing a penguin policeman all the way to New York City, where further misadventures and danger await. It was met with rave reviews upon its February, 2024 release. The Progressive Aspect said DUCK was “a humdinger of an album, easy to absorb and highly listenable, yet fiendishly complex, and probably The Aristocrats’ best to date.” Sea Of Tranquility added, “[DUCK] is hard-hitting, intricate, but most importantly an absolute blast to listen to.” Metal Injection declared, “One of the Earth’s mightiest virtuoso trios has returned to make you feel terrible about your musical abilities…just an all around fun ride.” DUCK is available in both standard and deluxe edition formats as well as 180-gram double vinyl via BOING Music, and is available on all streaming services.
Over the past 14 years, The Aristocrats – guitarist Guthrie Govan (Steven Wilson, Hans Zimmer, Asia/GPS), bassist Bryan Beller (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Dethklok), and drummer Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson, Joe Satriani, Steve Hackett) – have established themselves as one of the most musically original, refreshingly irreverent, and astoundingly entertaining instrumental rock-fusion acts on the planet. Global media have gushed with the UK’s Rhythm Magazine declaring them “More fun than fusion has a right to be…” and The San Diego Union Tribune avowing, “If there is a more accomplished, empathetic and versatile all-instrumental trio in rock than The Aristocrats, I’ve yet to hear them…”
The buzz from their supposedly one-off debut gig at the Anaheim NAMM show in 2011 led to The Aristocrats’ self-titled debut album. Tracked in just eight days, THE ARISTOCRATS (2011) was hailed as an instant classic in leading music publications worldwide, appearing on many of that year’s top ten lists. The Aristocrats then proceeded to make four more critically acclaimed studio albums over the next decade-plus, two of which landed in the Billboard Top 10 Jazz Chart. (Jazz? Ok, sure.) Four world tours and three live albums later, the band is known on five continents as a must-see whirlwind musical experience.
