Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen is hitting the road for a US tour as he prepares to celebrate four decades of his solo career. The Grammy-winning artist took to social media this Monday, June 17, and revealed the dates of the 40th-anniversary tour beginning on September 26.
The fall tour covers 35 cities across the United States and at least two cities in Canada. The forthcoming tour which spans over five weeks will be supported by performances from singer-songwriter Kurt Deimer on all dates.
The inaugural concert of Malmsteen's celebratory tour will be held in Florida at The Ranch Concert Hall in Fort Myers. The legendary artist will host three more shows in Florida at Clearwater's Caital Theater, Mt Dora Music Hall, and The Moon in Tallahassee.

The legendary guitarist will also take the stage at St. Charles' Arcada Theater, Denver's Oriental Theater, and Tacoma's Temple Theater.
