Unisonic has recruited Edguy bassist Tobias Exxel for their performance at the Monsters of Rock festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Exxel will replace guitarist Mandy Meyer during Unisonic's performance at the Monsters of Rock festival on April 26th. Meyer has to sit out the band's festival performance due to a prior commitment for a U.S. tour with Swiss rockers Krokus.

Says the band's drummer and manager Kosta Zafiriou: "Eggi is not only a great guy, he's also an excellent guitar player. We were not aware of this fact until he joined our soundcheck several times during the collective tour of Unisonic and Edguy in Japan and Europe 2014. The first day he jammed with us, the second he had perfectly performed two of our songs with us.

"If a band consist of members with such wide activities as Unisonic does, of course we'll run into scheduling problems sooner or later. We know this and we've already had to decline interesting offers in the past. But receiving an offer to play the Monsters of Rock Festival in Sao Paulo in front of 50.000 crazy Brazilian fans, sharing the stage with bands like Ozzy, Judas Priest and KISS, is something you can't turn down as a musician. When we were considering who could replace Mandy for this show, Eggi's name came up instantly. We're happy to fill this gap with a friend!"
