Sophie Lloyd announces debut US headline show at iconic LA venue Whisky A Go Go
After selling out her debut show in London in minutes earlier this year, Sophie Lloyd has announced her debut US headline gig.
The guitarist, who’s been a member of Machine Gun Kelly’s touring band since 2022, will be performing at Los Angeles’ iconic Whisky A Go Go on 16 January next year.

And in celebration, Lloyd has shared a version of Alice Cooper’s Poison on her signature Kiesel guitar, the virtuoso showing off her impressive talent.
After Lloyd announced her debut solo UK show in June, it sold out in five minutes. As a result, the show on 17 October was upgraded from London’s Camden Assembly to the 500-capacity The Underworld, also in Camden.
Whisky A Go Go, which has in the past played host to The Doors, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Diamond, the Ramones, Oasis and System of a Down, has a capacity of 500, too.
Lloyd, who rose to prominence as a rock and metal guitarist on YouTube, released her debut solo album, Imposter Syndrome, last year. The album has a rich supporting cast of artists, including Trivium’s Matt Heafy, Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale, and Chris Robertson of Black Stone Cherry.
“We put so much work and love into the Imposter Syndrome album and we’re so excited to finally bring that to the stage, first in London in October and then to LA in January,” says Lloyd of her upcoming tour dates.
“I’m so grateful for the strong American audience I’ve gained online over the years, and I think it’s about time I head over there and rock out with them in person! It was incredible to see the response to our London show and I hope the US will be just as excited to experience what we’ve got in store.
“It’s especially special to be playing at The Whisky, which is such an important part of rock and roll history, where almost all of my guitar heroes have played multiple times.”
