Who would have thought that 50 years ago in a drum shop owned by Jim Marshall, that the idea of an amplifier designed to help create richer sound for guitarists that couldn't afford exspensive gear from the States would become a household name.
For the last 50 years Jim Marshall OBE and the Marshall team have been influencing the sound of rock and roll on the stage and in the studio with a cast of artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Gary Moore, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Zappa, Richie Kotzen, Trivium and countless others.
To celebrate their fabulous five-decade legacy, Marshall has planned an awesome Golden Anniversary that will welcome a stellar lineup of artists and present an impressive array Marshall exhibits for what promises to an event that shall be remembered for the next 50 years.
The ground-breaking artist line-up at Wembley Arena on Saturday 22 September is as pioneering as the brand itself and includes global rock royalty from bands including Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Whitesnake, Chickenfoot, The Cult, Black Label Society and many more. Tickets from the event go on sale Friday 9 March at 9:00am and can be purchased via Live Nation.
