The Mike Keneally Report and Dave Cureton
Sidney & Matilda
The Mike Keneally Report and Dave Cureton come to Sheffield on Monday 7th December 2026.
Mike Keneally is one of the most respected and versatile guitarists and composers in progressive music. Renowned for his work with Frank Zappa, as well as collaborations with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Devin Townsend, his career spans decades of genre-defying creativity. As a solo artist, Keneally is celebrated for his boundless musicality, seamlessly blending complex compositions with improvisation, humour, and spontaneity. His live performances are as unpredictable as they are virtuosic, shifting from intricate, high-energy passages to intimate, expressive moments that showcase his deep musical range.
Joining him is Dave Cureton, a dynamic and expressive guitarist and founder member of IO Earth, whose solo work blends melodic sophistication with fearless improvisation, earning him a growing reputation on the progressive music circuit. His solo material showcases his distinctive voice most clearly, fusing intricate composition with raw, electrifying energy. He has performed internationally at events such as Cruise to the Edge and ProgStock, as well as festivals across Norway and the Netherlands, and has opened for The Winery Dogs. His live shows are explosive, technically dazzling, and emotionally charged, leaving a lasting impact on audiences.
Together, this special double headline show promises an unforgettable night of boundary-pushing guitar mastery and high-energy performances.
