Sweden’s legendary hard rock band EUROPE, best known for their worldwide 1986 Smash Hit The Final Countdown, will arrive on Australian shores next week!
This will be the first time the band has toured Australia in their 35 year career and their first show kicks on in Perth on Wednesday, May 16!
The bands most recent album, 2017’s Walk The Earth has received fantastic reviews the world over and they have just released a new music video for the track, The Siege. The Zeppelinesque riff gives way to Deep Purple like keyboards and a catchy as hell chorus!
The Australian shows will be very special and in a world first for the band, will consist of two sets!
Over TWO HOURS of music with a short break in the middle.
And will feature fan favourites from albums including Rock The Night, Carrie, Cherokee, Heart Of Stone, Danger On The Track, Superstitious, Ready Or Not, Open Your Heart
Plus songs from their first two albums which very rarely get played live, including Scream Of Anger and Seven Doors Hotel, all the way through to their current and 11th album Walk The Earth!
