The tour follows the 14th September release of Europe’s critically acclaimed new studio album “Last Look At Eden” which features the singles “New Love In Town” and the title track. Best known for their 1986 smash anthem “The Final Countdown,” the Swedish rockers have returned with a heavier bluesy, hip-shaking metal sound, and recently headlined the UK’s Bloodstock Festival to rave reviews.
Metal Hammer recently praised Europe for their outstanding Bloodstock performance – “Europe’s note perfect, slickly choreographed show, pulls together all ages and tastes for a feel-good finale that smells like total victory.”
