John 5 (Mötley Crüe, ex-Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson/David Lee Roth, etc.) will be welcoming Wednesday 13‘s namesake vocalist into his backing band The Creatures for a run of shows planned to take place in the second half of 2027. The setlist for those performances is expected to be expanded to include covers of various songs from the projects John 5 has been involved with over the years.
The first stop of this new union to be announced will be held at next year’s ‘Wacken Open Air‘ festival, which has been booked for July 28th-31st 2027 in Wacken, Germany. John 5 said of this venture:
“I’ve really missed playing these songs that for years were so much a part of my life. Having such an amazing showman as Wednesday 13 join me will ensure the performances are killer. And to have the first show we announce be the Wacken festival in 2027 is truly awesome.”
Wednesday 13 added:
“I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing the stage with John 5. He has been such a staple in the music world and is one of the best, and most respected guitarist out there. John and I have been friends for years and we have toured together with our bands going all the way back to 2010. All the projects he’s been involved with over the years, are all of my favorite bands, and have been such an influence on me. To be able to sing some of these songs along with him is really a true honor. I really can’t wait to get out on the road next year.”
