GUITAR MAGIC WITH CULT FACTOR
For over three decades, Axel Rudi Pell has stood for melodic hard rock with an unmistakable signature. With his current album "Ghost Town" and a well-rehearsed band, the German guitarist will come to Z7 as part of the big tour 2026, bringing new songs as well as timeless classics to Pratteln.
The music of Axel Rudi Pell requires neither long explanations nor stylistic categorization – it works immediately. Powerful guitar riffs meet catchy melodies and are carried by a perfectly harmonizing band. With singer Johnny Gioeli, former Rainbow drummer Bobby Rondinelli, bassist Volker Krawczak, and keyboardist Ferdy Doernberg, he has a lineup that has stood for quality and consistency for years. Despite this clear musical direction, Pell continually surprises with new ideas and exciting details that keep his sound alive. The current album "Ghost Town" seamlessly integrates into this success story and expands his impressive body of work with eleven new songs. On the 2026 tour, he will bring these to the stage live for the first time and combine them with selected highlights from his long career – an evening for all who want to experience classic hard rock at its best.
