John 5

Upheaval Festival is set to become even more EPIC in 2022. New this year, Grand Rapids' rock festival will feature official After Shows at The Intersection with Spiritbox and John 5!

13-year-old John 5 couldn't bring himself to ask for Gene Simmons' autograph after sneaking out of school to meet him.

Guitar virtuoso first met Kiss icon in 1983.

Catch John 5 and The Creatures out with The Haxans as support on select dates.

A blown radiator couldn't stop it from finishing 4th.

It was a festive holiday for rockers.

'I thought I got stabbed in the stomach…,' says the guitarist.

Definitely a one-of-a-kind costume.

Check out the collaborative video between the musicians.

Original KISS drummer Peter Criss shows up too.

Blow out the candles!

Hear their rocked-out version of the classic country tune.
