Progressive rock trio, The Aristocrats, have been regulars to India ever since they made their debut in the country in 2016. Guitarist Guthrie Govan (known for performing with the likes of Steven Wilson and Hans Zimmer), bassist Bryan Beller (with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Dethklok), and drummer Marco Minnemann (whose on-stage touring duties have included Steven Wilson, Joe Satriani and Steve Hackett) are back this week as part of their ongoing Duck tour across the world.

Often among the most fun-loving, yet dexterous acts in the world, the rock/fusion band released their album Duck in early 2024 and are now in Asia as part of a globetrotting tour. The band said in an announcement about their Australia and Asia shows, “We can’t wait to bring our newest aristocratic creation to life for all our fans across the world, starting with shows in Australia and Japan in February and March 2025. Now, India has become the latest stop added to the tour, and we can’t wait to see you all at a show again soon!”

Bassist Beller added in his post on social media, “It’s a long way for our Duck to travel, and we’re looking forward to showing him around. Hope to see you there soon.”
