In a thrilling development for symphonic metal fans, EPICA have been announced as direct support for Metallica at the Stade de France in Paris and Volksparkstadion in Hamburg during Metallica’s M72 world tour. This iconic combination promises to deliver a memorable experience for metal enthusiasts.
Simone Simons, the renowned vocalist of EPICA, shares the band's excitement, saying: “We are beyond excited to share the stage with the legendary Metallica that has had a great influence on the whole music scene, including EPICA.” This fusion of EPICA's symphonic metal and Metallica's legendary thrash is set to create an electrifying atmosphere at the upcoming concerts.
Having recently concluded the successful Epic Apocalypse Tour throughout Europe, which included several sold-out shows, EPICA is riding high on success. Fans can anticipate several live-singles in the coming months before the band heads back to the studio.
EPICA fans will also have several opportunities to catch the band live at various shows throughout the year. In addition to supporting Metallica, they'll be headlining at multiple summer festivals, including the Download Festival, Graspop Metal Meeting, Topfest, Midalidare – Rock in The Valley, Exit Festival, Dong Open Air, The Return of The Gods Festival, Kuopiorock, Q-Stock, Rockstadt Extreme Fest, Summer Breeze, Motocultor Festival, and Rock the Lakes.
