Sophie Lloyd has announced her debut US headlining show, with the Machine Gun Kelly guitarist and YouTube shred star scheduled to play Los Angeles’ legendary Whisky A Go Go on 16 January, a storied venue on Sunset Strip whose history Lloyd is well aware of.

“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,” she says.
