Venue: Manchester Academy

Guitarist/vocalist Sayce was born in Aberystwyth, Wales, and grew up in Toronto, Canada. His musical journey of exploration and endeavour has put him amongst the cream of the latest generation of artists reshaping and re-energising the blues and creating music that, at its best, is as exciting, as soulful and as moving as you'll find anywhere.

Planet Rock Radio presents Philip Sayce "the soulful master of the stratocaster"
Following his electrifying and critically acclaimed 2024 UK tour, guitar marvel and powerhouse vocalist Philip Sayce returns in May / June 2026 for a nationwide UK tour fueled with a brand-new live release and a forthcoming studio album that promises to raise the bar yet again.

From blistering fretwork to soul-stirring ballads, Sayce’s performances have earned raves from the likes of Blues Matters (“wild, energetic – a full-on experience”) and Raw Ramp (“Philip Sayce creates atmospheres with sonic textures. When the mood takes him, Sayce extends his fingers into the heavens and takes fire from the sun. Oh my!”).

A protégé of the late Jeff Healey and a longtime collaborator with Melissa Etheridge, Sayce has shared stages from Montreux Jazz Festival to Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival, leaving audiences stunned and critics scrambling for superlatives. Jon Bon Jovi once summed it up best: “Who the f** is that guitar player? Pretty fabulous, Philip.”

VIP meet & greets will be available for direct purchase for select performances at philipsayce.com

Sayce’s special guest on the tour is critically acclaimed British guitarist and singer songwriter Tom Moriarty. “Tom’s music appeals to fans of Ben Harper, Ray Lamontagne and Van Morrison,” says Guitarist magazine.
