This September, history will be made with the return of Swedish metallers SABATON to Australian shores, joined nationally by special guests and fellow compatriots AMARANTHE.
Bringing their trademark heavy metal maximalism down under later this year, SABATON’s Aussie headline run will kick off on Wednesday, 3 September in Perth, before journeying to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and concluding proceedings on Tuesday, 9 September in Auckland. AMARANTHE will not be performing in Auckland.
For over 25 years SABATON have cultivated a formidable reputation, headlining major festivals, snaring significant chart success, ticking off sold out arena concerts across the globe, and amassing a legion of fans worldwide via their surging riffs, commanding vocals, and songs detailing real-life wars and historic battles. Widely regarded as one of the hardest-working bands in the business and a major fixture in the European metal scene, SABATON have released 10 studio albums to date, with eight LPs landing Top 10 international chart status, six claiming Top 5, and some certified Gold (2010’s Coat of Arms, 2014’s Heroes, 2016’s The Last Stand, 2019’s The Great War) and Quadruple Platinum (2012’s Carolus Rex) in their motherland.
Gifted heavy alchemists well versed in fusing everything from pop rock through to death metal into their sonic brew, AMARANTHE have previously toured with Epica and Dragonforce and erupted festival stages across the globe, and the Swedish collective will be back this year to continue their Australian domination witnessed last year when they ticked off their debut down under tour.
Prepare to journey To Hell and Back this September for an unforgettable SABATON headline extravaganza. Australia, this will absolutely be one for the history books.
