Exciting news for rock fans everywhere as Electric Mud, the award-winning San Diego rock band, is set to open for the legendary Rolling Stones at their upcoming Arizona concert on May 7 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale! Led by former U.S. Navy SEAL Marc Hansen, Electric Mud will kick off the show for the Stones as part of their 2024 North American Hackney Diamonds stadium tour.
The announcement came as a pleasant surprise for Electric Mud, whose members have a special family connection to the Rolling Stones. Brothers Marc and Matty Hansen, along with their cousin, bassist Matt Sorena, are the nephews of Patti Hansen and Keith Richards. Keith Richards, the iconic guitarist and vocalist for the Stones, played a pivotal role in shaping Marc’s musical journey by giving him his first guitar and lesson as a teenager.
According to Marc Hansen, the opportunity to open for the Stones came about after he sent a promotional package to his aunt, Patti Hansen, two years ago. The promoters of the Stones’ tour later reached out and expressed their interest in having Electric Mud as the opening act. Mick Jagger, known for handpicking the bands that open for the Stones, played a significant role in selecting Electric Mud for this prestigious opportunity.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Electric Mud is gearing up for this momentous occasion by rehearsing and recording new material. The band, which includes guitarist Colton Cori, aims to deliver a stellar performance at the State Farm Stadium, with a setlist of their best songs carefully curated for the event.
For fans eager to witness Electric Mud’s journey to the big stage, the band will host a free warm-up concert in San Diego on May 5, followed by their drive to Arizona on May 6. This incredible opportunity to open for their musical idols is a dream come true for Electric Mud, and they are determined to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
