Helloween and HammerFall announce co-headline European tour

HELLOWEEN and HAMMERFALL have announced a co-headlining European tour!

Titled the United Forces Tour, set to take place in March through to May next year, the tour will see the two power metal giants uniting for a co-headlining tour across mainland Europe and two dates in the UK!

The tour will come in support of both band’s upcoming new studio albums (HELLOWEEN‘s self-titled released in June this year and HAMMERFALL‘s as-of-yet unannounced). Tickets for the tour are available now and can be purchased here.

Speaking about the tour, HELLOWEEN vocalist Andi Deris says, “we are ‘hammered’ to have our friends from HAMMERFALL with us on tour! Back in 2002 the band produced their album Crimson Thunder in my studio in Tenerife and we had a lot of fun back then. This mega-package is delivering the appropriate metal-spectacle to enter the stage with full power!”

HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak adds, “we are so ridiculously excited about this! Not only do we get to go out on tour again after two looooooooong years of stage draught, but we get to do it with a band that we love and was a great inspiration to us in forming HAMMERFALL in the first place. The United Forces Tour will be something truly special, you can count on that!”
