LEGENDARY guitarists Joe Satriani and Steve Vai have joined forces to form SatchVai, a combination that will tour Europe and play the gigantic HellFest in France.

Satriani, 68, and Vai, 64 did a good job of keeping their latest collaboration secret – details were released at the same time as their extensive tour schedule.

The pair previously toured the US together with their respective bands and have recorded a song, “The Sea Of Emotion, Pt. 1”.

Satriani says in a media release: “I’m so looking forward to sharing the stage with Steve again.

“Every time we play together, it takes me back to when we were teenagers, eating and breathing music every second of the day, pushing, challenging, and helping each other to be the best we could be. I guess we’ve never stopped!”

Vai added: “Touring with Joe is always a pleasure and an honor. He is my favourite guitarist to jam with, and now we have another opportunity to take it to the stage. I feel as though we are both at the top of our game and the show will be a powerful celebration of the coolest instrument in the world, the electric guitar!”
