SatchVai Band w/Animals as Leaders @ The Factory

Surfing with the Hydra 2026 Tour

The SATCHVAI Band is Joe Satriani and Steve Vai w/ Kenny Aronoff • Marco Mendoza • Pete Thorn

On the Surfing With The Hydra Tour, fans can expect a full-band, high-energy performance that delivers a complete rock experience. Satriani and Vai will debut new material from the forthcoming SATCHVAI Band album alongside beloved classics from each of their respective catalogs, as well as a selection of iconic covers. It’s a true band experience — dynamic, expansive, and curated to celebrate both their shared history and fearless musical creativity and evolution. The SATCHVAI Band sound is a seamless fusion of melody, virtuosity, and unbridled energy – the kind of musical chemistry only five decades of friendship can produce.

“The SATCHVAI Band rides again! After a fantastic European tour last summer Steve, Kenny, Marco, Pete and I will bring the Surfing With The Hydra Tour to the US. We can’t wait to play you the new material from our forthcoming SatchVai album along with your favorite songs from our shared catalog. And that’s not all, we’re bringing along the incomparable Animals As Leaders. You do not want to miss this show with this lineup!” – Joe
