It’s a rare occasion these days that European shores get to see a billing of such huge bands in one show, but now is that time!
Epica have announced a headline tour of a few select European dates with support coming from the folk metal behemoths Eluveitie and modern metal titans Scar Symmetry. With all 3 putting out critically acclaimed albums last year, this is a show that is certainly not to be missed!
Epica guitarist Isaac Delahaye said about the upcoming tour:
“Oh boy, I’m super stoked for this! What better way to end our The Quantum Enigma world tour than to team up with a band who’s – just like us – mixing two different genres into something special; a great metal band with a catchy folk topping. Yummie! Add some delicious riffing from our favourite Swedes, and you can expect a lot of coolio and three bands on top of their game. You wanna hear an orchestra? You wanna see a fiddler? You wanna steal tasty soloing ideas? Or do you just wanna have a great metal night in the pit? We’ve got it all.”
And Eluveitie added:
“From Switzerland to India, from Europe to North America, from clubs to festivals, our Origins world tour is shaping up to be our most extensive one yet. But we are far from tired! Better yet, we have saved a proper highlight for autumn 2015: together with the incredible Epica, we are getting ready to bring what’s bound to be the tour of the year to the stages of Europe. We are extremely excited to share the stage with such accomplished and talented artists, and are already working our asses off to present you the strongest Eluveitie show ever! Both bands bring their unique flavor to metal and have earned their reputation as top live acts, so we are certain that every single night is going to be one to remember.”
Epica & Eluveitie will also be trekking together on another few European dates as a co-headlining duo with Scar Symmetry supporting them. A very fine way to end the touring cycle for all the bands involved!
