Sonata Arctica announce rescheduled European tour dates
SONATA ARCTICA have announced the rescheduled tour dates for their European tour!
Originally set to take place in October through to December this year, the planned acoustic tour from the Finnish power metal band was unfortunately delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now, the rescheduled tour dates have been revealed.
The tour will now take place in October through to December next year and Swedish band ELEINE retain their place as supporting band. Tickets for the tour are available now and can be purchased here.
Speaking about the rescheduled tour dates, keyboardist Henrik ‘Henkka’ Klingenberg says, “despite of the circumstances slowly getting better, we will unfortunately have to postpone our Acoustic Adventures European Tour that was supposed to happen this autumn. This is not a light decision by any means but right now we cannot go forward with the tour as planned. However we will be back in 2022, postponed doesn’t mean cancelled. Our Acoustic Adventures Vol. One album will also be released a few months later than originally planned but rest assured, it will be worth the wait. We’re really looking forward to getting out there again to play for you all, rather sooner than later. Meanwhile, take care.”
“This acoustic form of SONATA ARCTICA has been slowly brewing for years,” comments vocalist Tony Kakko and explains. “The first manifestation of it, besides the few acoustic versions of songs released throughout the years, was the Acoustic Adventures Tour in 2019, which proved to be a great success, sparking an idea to get these songs also recorded and out on an album. Or two albums, at least for starters. Our songs have always been based on beautiful melodies, which makes it very easy to transform and rearrange them perfectly into the acoustic form as well. I should mention that many of the songs work so well dressed in acoustic garments.”
