They writhe over the ground and hurtle through the air. They twine into impossible shapes. They make you laugh with their antic humor and gasp at their eye-popping feats. From Broadway seasons to a landmark performance at the 2002 Winter Olympics, these agile and powerful dancers never fail to entrance. Playful illusionist, mind-boggling acrobats, gravity-defying shape-shifters there is nothing quite like Pilobolus!

Following on from the first-ever G3 tour in 2023, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai will continue the party as they take to the road as a duo in spring 2024! Commenting on this extra special jaunt, Satriani said "The Satch/Vai Tour is happening! 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!" Don't miss these re-energized performers when they hit a stage near you.
