Escape the Internet brings together four of the modern instrumental scene's most influential players for a single, genre-hopping evening. Austrian guitarist Bernth is known for his modern metal riffing and a YouTube channel followed by musicians worldwide. British bassist Charles Berthoud, a Berklee graduate from London, has redefined the instrument through his extraordinary two-handed tapping. Swedish guitarist Ola Englund plays lead in metal bands The Haunted and Feared and runs his own Solar Guitars brand. Completing the line-up is English fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes, twice named the world's best acoustic guitarist in Total Guitar and MusicRadar reader polls, whose solo arrangements of "Somebody That I Used to Know" and "One" have racked up millions of views.
Together they trade modern metal, fingerstyle, acoustic and advanced bass across a show built around dynamic solo spots and exclusive ensemble collaborations. The idea is simple and warmly old-fashioned: step away from the screen and share world-class musicianship in a room full of fellow fans. Expect virtuoso playing, a few surprises, and four distinctive voices meeting on one stage.
