Sonata Arctica - Announce 2017 European Tour


Shortly after releasing their fresh new album, The Ninth Hour, the Finns Sonata Arctica announce that they will return to Europe for another trek in 2017. The band finished their European tour with Swedish adventure metallers Twilight Force last Saturday with a sold out show in Bochum, Germany. After their forthcoming North American tour, the band will hit European stages once again starting on February 20th, 2017. Support on this leg will come from Norwegian metallers Triosphere (February 20th - March 20th), also Finland-based heavy metallers Thunderstone (March 22nd - April 9th) and Canadian heavy metallers Striker. See all the dates below!

Keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg commented: "Since our latest European tour was merely a blip on the radar, albeit a strong one at that, we decided that we had to come back and make sure we hit all the places we missed on the first run. So, here it is: 2 months of shows in Europe, including a lot of new places and a whole bunch of cities we haven't had the chance to visit in years. See you out there!"

If these shows follow the same format as the 2016 Ninth Hour tour, I hope those who go are fans of Striker (who I can't say I've heard of).

The length of Twilight Force's set vs. Sonata's set at the Shepherd Bush Empire show made it feel more like a co-headlining gig.
