Swedish heavy metal heroes SABATON have announced the first dates for their massive European tour 2017. »The Last Tour« is the biggest tour of SABATON yet and scheduled to kick off January 7th at König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. Very special guests are none other than heavy metal legends ACCEPT. Find all dates below!
Says SABATON's bass player Pär Sundström:
"We have just finished our new album, which is titled »The Last Stand« and we know we have done a great album, which all fans of SABATON can appreciate for many years. If it is the best album of us, time will tell… But what we can tell for sure is that »The Last Tour« will be the biggest and best tour of SABATON ever. It is the tour we have been looking forward to do for all these years!"
Added ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann:
"Accepting a tour with SABATON is the result of a very cool relationship we have with the band. It was a great pleasure to tour with them in USA and we followed their career with respect over the years. We have not seen a band who has such a clear vision where they want to go and it is rare that bands can translate their visions into real action. SABATON are a hard working band and are a serious role model for aspiring musicians and young bands. We are looking forward to have an exciting tour - especially after we have been in the studio for a while and sure feel some kind of cabin fever…"
