Plini comments: "After a couple of years away from touring, it's been so much fun getting back into the swing of things and seeing how these new tracks will pan out (pun maybe intended) live. Can't wait to see what they evolve into over all the tours we have coming up next year!"

Joining Plini on the US and UK/EU dates will be the innovative guitar soundscapist Jakub Zytecki. Watch the video to his latest track 'Heart' here: https://youtu.be/uV5jpBH8TXU

More information on PLINI:

PLINI composes, plays guitar, records, produces and manages his unique brand of instrumental progressive rock all from a bedroom studio.

His critically-acclaimed debut album Handmade Cities was voted #5 in Guitar World Magazine’s “20 best guitar albums of the decade,” and hailed by Steve Vai as “one of the finest, forward thinking, melodic, rhythmically and harmonically deep, evolution of rock/metal instrumental guitar records I have ever heard.” Routinely mentioned in “best guitarist” lists, PLINI was named #4 in the “Top 10 best prog guitarists in the world today” by Music Radar in early 2020. PLINI also made Prog mag (UK)'s top 100 musicians of all time list.

Over the last few years, PLINI has toured the world supporting bands like Animals As Leaders, Periphery, Tesseract and Intervals, as well as playing festivals and headlining his own tours all over North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and India. In 2018, PLINI was the first instrumental act ever to play the legendary Download Festival in the UK.

PLINI was a special guest instructor at “Vai Academy” in 2019, alongside Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Devin Townsend, and despite being entirely self-taught, he has been invited to give masterclasses at some of the most prestigious contemporary music colleges in the world, including Berklee College of Music, Musician’s Institute (USA), BIMM (UK), and JMC Academy (Australia).
