Rhapsody - First 20th Anniversary Reunion Shows Announced


Reunited symphonic power metal band Rhapsody will tour Latin America this spring as part of their 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour. Fabio Lione, Luca Turilli, Dominique Leurquin, Patrice Guers and Alex Holzwarth will perform their album Symphony Of Enchanted Lands in full, as well as other classics of the band and some songs rarely played on stage. The band has also announced a few European festival appearances.

Luca Turilli cannot hide his enthusiasm for the upcoming reunion tour: "The one of next year will be surely the most important Latin American tour of my life. I have the shivers while thinking that for a last time Fabio, I and my other friends, will play some old glorious classics like 'Emerald Sword' on stage together. Be all part of such new epic ride to the valleys of the enchanted lands and prepare yourselves to live an emotional event like no others!"

Fabio Lione adds: "The future shows in Latin America will remain carved in our hearts and soul forever. Rhapsody's magic will fill the air in a special way when the first notes of 'Epicus Furor' will start echoing between the walls of every hall and the words of Christopher Lee will announce our last stage entrance together. Be ready to share such magic with all of us. We wait for you!"

No UK shows?

I know, and I'd been hoping they'd come to the Courtyard in Hereford....

First gig was Manowar (loincloths 'n' all), Bristol Colston Hall in March 1983, on the 'Hail to England' tour. Tickets were £3.75, 300 in the audience, Mercyful Fate never showed, but my hearing still got seriously trashed..

Latin American crowds are some of the best though. That's why bands like to play there.

That was true some years ago. Now, metal bands love to go to South America.

And what kind of reunion is this? They are playing SoEL, but only two out of the five members in this "reunion"-setup recorded that album. And the album is packed full with keyboard parts and Staropoli isn't even with them. I like both Rhapsody of today but this reunion just smells...

Naah, come back in a few years with a true reuniontour instead.

It seems the band was aching to continue without Staropoli. They ever released a post with the title "RHAPSODY ARE BACK!". There must've been a conflict with Staropoli.

Well, Alex said he wouldn't be part of this tour cause he want to be 100% focused with "of Fire".
