Last month, Tobias Sammet announced that he was working on a new Avantasia album to the delight of fans. The new album and a world tour will come in 2016 but there is more. The first guest vocalist for the new Avantasia album and tour has now been announced. None other than singer Jørn Lande (Masterplan, Jorn, Allen/Lande) will appear on Ghostlights (out in January).

Tobias Sammet stated: "It is with great pleasure that I can announce the Beast From The North to join forces with Tobias Sammet once again. The striking Viking: Jorn Lande! We've just finished his vocal recordings and he sounds - what a surprise - KILLER! Jorn is a monster! It is with even greater pleasure to let you know that Jorn is gonna do the world tour next year, kicking off in March! Avantasia live - 3 hours every night, from the Metal Opera to the new album Ghostlights. We'll be an epic line up and we'll deliver an epic show! Stay tuned."
