The Finns Sonata Arctica recently released a re-recorded version of their debut album Ecliptica, which came out 15 years ago, under the banner Ecliptica - Revisited: 15th Anniversary Edition on Nuclear Blast. Now they have announced the Ecliptica Over Europe Tour 2015, together with special guests Freedom Call, who will play a very special set to celebrate the anniversary of their album Eternity. Sonata Arctica will perform Ecliptica in full. It will be a veritable power metal feast.

Commented the band: "It's been some months since we released the re-recorded version of our debut album Ecliptica and of course we couldn't resist the temptation of attempting to play the whole album front to back live. Hence, we're happy to announce the Ecliptica special shows in Europe. On these shows we'll perform Ecliptica in its entirety as well as assorted hits from our catalog. This is a one-time thing only, don't miss it. As special guest we will bring Freedom Call who will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Eternity record and play a special set around that album. See you all out there!"
