SONATA ARCTICA – to tour Europe in support of current success album “Clear Cold Beyond” w/ FIREWIND, TUNGSTEN & SERIOUS BLACK in autumn 2024

Finnish melodic metal whirlwinds SONATA ARCTICA recently started the “Clear Cold Beyond” world tour in support of their new studio album in their home country. Inspired by the highly acclaimed record, the group couldn’t only celebrate a series of great chart entries — including some of the best positions in their long-time career (Switzerland: #12 etc.) — but they are now also pleased to announce their return to stages outside of Finland in the form of a European headline tour in September/October this year. Special guests on the whole run will be iconic Greek metallers FIREWIND with German power metallers SERIOUS BLACK warming up the crowds. The line-up of the Nordic leg will be completed by SONATA ARCTICA‘s new RPM labelmates, Swedish symphonic metal act TUNGSTEN, while Swedish power metal newcomers FINAL STRIKE will appear on the tour’s opening night. The full routing can be found below; tickets are on sale now!

Keyboardist Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg states, “We had a blast touring with STRATOVARIUS in Europe last autumn, playing power metal and rocking out. With the release of our first studio album in 5 years, “Clear Cold Beyond,” it’s time to hit the road once again. We’re really looking forward to presenting our new power metal songs live and I’m sure this will be yet another tour to remember. See you at the shows – cheers!”

“Fresh off from our headline shows in support of our new album “Stand United” and today we’re excited to announce more European shows for this autumn as special guests of the mighty SONATA ARCTICA. No rest for the wicked! Get tickets and don’t miss this!” says FIREWIND guitar hero Gus G.

Adds SERIOUS BLACK bassist Mario Lochert: “After 5 studio albums, numerous tours, shows and festivals worldwide, the name SERIOUS BLACK has already become a permanent fixture in the power metal scene. Anyone who has already been to a concert of this band can look forward to another fireworks on stage – full of hymns, melodies and heavy riffs!”

TUNGSTEN vocalist Mike Andersson comments, “We’re really excited and ready to tour with SONATA ARCTICA in Scandinavia in September. It’ll be an honour to share the stages with these bands and to meet the audience. It’s truly gonna be a blast and we can’t wait!”
