Jeff Beck at Umbria Jazz 22 on July 17

One of the greatest guitarists of all time will perform at Umbria Jazz (Arena Santa Giuliana) on July 17. Johnny Depp will join Jeff Beck onstage as the guitarist of his band.

Jeff Beck has announced a European tour started in May with a few dates in the UK, before coming to Italy at Umbria Jazz on July 17. These shows will mark the first live dates of this stunning guitarist since September 2019, when he performed at the Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival and other festivals in the USA. Many of these new dates were part of a tour scheduled in 2020 before the cancellation due to the pandemic.

Over more than 50 years of career, Jeff Beck has earned eight incredible Grammy Awards, has been ranked by Rolling Stones as one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time”, and has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, as a member of the Yardbirds and as a solo artist. In the summer of 2016, guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck celebrated 50 years of his musical career with an extraordinary concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl. This concert led to the release of Jeff Beck: Live At The Hollywood Bowl, a critically-acclaimed album and concert film. Jeff spent the last two years working on new music, and a new album is expected soon.
