HELLOWEEN

NEWS FROM THE STUDIO: HELLOWEEN ARE WORKING ON THE SUCCESSOR TO THEIR #1 ALBUM AND ANNOUNCE ANNIVERSARY WORLD TOUR 2025 / 2026 It was the banger of the year 2021: With their sixteenth record, the self-titled album " HELLOWEEN" , the legendary metal band returned with a seven-member line-up and caused a global metal earthquake. The album easily cracked the #1 chart position in several countries and was celebrated frenetically by fans and journalists alike. The triumphal procession continued live throughout 2022/23 with 60 emotional concerts in 30 countries, leaving nothing to be desired. Among others at shows in Los Angeles, New York, the "Monsters of Rock" festivals in South America, headlining Wacken Open Air, as well as the first sold-out gig at the legendary Budokan in Tokyo, tears of joy flowed from over 800,000 fans and the reunited band members - which can be experienced on the live CD/Blu-ray/DVD "LIVE AT BUDOKAN", to be released on December 13, 2024. With these highlights, HELLOWEEN are heading into their anniversary year, celebrating 40 years of band- and metal history. While Andi Deris, Michael Kiske, Michael Weikath, Kai Hansen, Markus Grosskopf, Sascha Gerstner and Dani Löble are working intensively on the successor to their sensational reunion album, they are now announcing an ANNIVERSARY TOUR of superlatives at the same time, as bassist and founding member Markus Grosskopf explains: "We came up with some great surprises for the fans. Besides the brand new songs to be performed live for the first time, we will also playtracks from the band's history that you haven't heard live for a very long time or even never before. The shows will be a fantastic experience for all of us!" Frontman Andi Deris adds: "We’re having a lot of fun working creatively in the studio and the album promises to become an absolute highlight – but nothing compares to a HELLOWEEN live concert: The energy of our audience is simply indescribable and we can't wait to finally go full throttle with our fans again. The upcoming tour will be bigger, better and more impressive than ever!" The live dates start October 17 th 2025 in Luxembourg and will take HELLOWEEN all over Europe for six weeks. Besides the brand new songs of their still untitled new long player, they will bring along BEAST IN BLACK from Finland as their 'very special guest' – and this guarantees a metal party to be out of this world! 2026 will be starting with dates in Asia, South and North America, before Germany's No. 1 metal ambassadors will make it to Europe's biggest festivals in the summer of '26. 40 Years Anniversary Tour - 2025 HELLOWEEN very special guest: BEAST IN BLACK October 17 LU – Luxembourg, Rockhal October 18 NL – Tilburg, 013 October 20 UK – London, Eventim Apollo October 22 FR – Paris, Le Zénith October 24 CZ – Prague, O2 Arena October 25 SK – Zvolen, Tiposbet Arena October 26 HU – Budapest, Papp Laszlo Arena October 28 PL – Katowice, Spodek October 31 DE – Bochum, Ruhrcongress 01.
