Because pirates and war go great together!

Sweden’s war machine Sabaton have announced that they will be returning to the UK after a string of very successful shows last year where they managed to do the impossible in London for a metal band – and sell out The Forum.

This time around they will be bringing some homebred pirate heroes in Alestorm, melding a show that will be full of tankards, and just plain tanks! Also on the trek as support will be Swedish outfit Bloodbound.

The tour will run a string of 10 dates through the UK and Ireland through February and March of 2016. It’s a while yet, but a line-up like this will surely rile up the masses into getting tickets quickly – so get in there and kick off 2016 with a bang!
