Europe goes Wacken!

Created by WackenJasper
01/23/2015

They are in the business for more than 30 years and now they will return to W:O:A for their second show: Europe!

 

The band was founded in 1979 as Force and changed the name to Europe in 1982. Without any doubts, the band is most famous for their party evergreen The Final Countdown, but they have released much more great songs you should know about. In fact, the Hard Rock band released 9 studio albums and a bunch of singles, live albums and compilations.

 

Not only in Sweden but also in the rest of Europe and the USA, the band gained huge success and they can take a look to several platinum, gold and silver rewards on their walls.

 

And by the way: Europe will release new material before the festivals starts! The new studio album War Of Kings will be released in March 2015 and the eponymic title track will be released as a single on the 2nd of February.
