Rock and metal fans are in for an absolute treat this February! BlueTree along with Artery Global present PLINI india tour featuring David Maxim Micic and Kraken!

Plini is an independent solo artist from Sydney, Australia. He composes, plays guitar, records, produces and manages his unique brand of instrumental progressive rock all from a bedroom studio. Steve Vai described his critically-acclaimed debut album 'Handmade Cities' as “one of the finest, forward thinking, melodic, rhythmically and harmonically deep, evolution of rock/metal instrumental guitar records I have ever heard.” Plini was named #8 in Ultimate-Guitar’s top 12 guitarists of 2015 and listed amongst MusicRadar’s “10 best prog guitarists in the world right now” in 2016.

In addition to his own catalogue (an album, a trilogy of EPs and numerous singles), PLINI has recorded guest solos for artists from all over the world, including Skyharbor (India), Intervals (Canada), Novelists (France), David Maxim Micic (Serbia), Modern Day Babylon (Czech Republic) and more. He has also released two singles for charity, 'Ko Ki' (2014) and 'Every Piece Matters' (2016), raising over $10,000 for providing shelter and sustainable housing for communities in poverty in Cambodia.

In a short time since 2015, PLINI has already shared stages all over the world with artists like Cynic, TesseracT, Between The Buried And Me, and more. He also has a signature guitar with Strandberg Guitars, and endorsement deals with Yahama Music, Dunlop, D’Addario and Fractal Audio.

After a successful burst of sold-out Australian shows in 2015, Plini was invited to support a couple of the instrumental genre’s biggest artists Animals as Leaders and Intervals for more than a hundred different club and festival shows throughout North America and Europe in 2016.

Capitalising on the fast growth from these tours and the critical acclaim for his debut album, 2017 saw PLINI embark on highly successful headline tours of Europe, the UK, North America and Australia. These tours included dozens of sold out shows and performances at some of the world’s iconic small venues, including the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, The Borderline in London and the Basement in Sydney.

This tour will see him supported by Serbian guitarist-keyboardist David Maxim Micic - a sensation in his own right, and one of India's fastest rising young metal acts, Kraken, who blew the community away with their 2017 release, Lush.

There are also guitar clinics in Bangalore and Mumbai, which guitarists can check out here: https://insider.in/plini-tour
