What’s that immaculate sound? ESP Guitars are returning to Mystic Festival!
ESP guitars are favoured by musicians from bands such as Behemoth, Mastodon, and Pain. And how do they find them? Ask them yourselves – Nergal, Bill Kelliher and Peter Tägtgren will make an appearance in the ESP Zone to talk shop, sign records, and shake hands. They’ll all come on June 6 – ask the staff in the Zone about the exact times of the meetings.
Would you like an ESP guitar as well? Easy-peasy! Up for grabs is a fantastic instrument from the Bill Kelliher signature series – the LTD Royal Shiva.
Each festivalgoer can visit the ESP Guitars Zone, select any of the instruments there and take a picture with it. Then, you should post the picture on your social media account, either Instagram or Facebook, tagging it #ESPguitarsMystic2026 – and wait and see how things go from there. On Saturday, June 6, the ESP Guitars reps will select the best picture and award the guitar to the winner on the Main Stage ahead of the Mastodon concert.
Regulars will know where to find the ESP Guitars Zone and what they can expect to find there. It’s not a museum where touching the exhibits is off-limits – here you can come and try out 20 guitar models from the current ESP/LTD line-up! A wide variety of the official ESP merch will also be available for purchase.
For professionals interested in collaborating with the ESP brand, there’s a designated VIP Room. There you will be able to try out some top-shelf instruments – ESP USA – and discuss potential collaborations with the ESP brand representatives.
