About Divergent present JOHN 5

Guitar virtuoso territory, this one — the kind of night that pulls in players and gearheads as much as regular gig-goers. Expect a set built around technical firepower, heavy riffing and long instrumental passages rather than radio hits. Friday evening means an early start, so the crowd tends to be in and settled well before the main event. Fans travel from well outside the immediate area for shows like this, so expect a full room and a fair few band t-shirts.
