Sabaton have announced a European tour for early 2020.
As part of the The Great War Tour, the power-metal five-piece will play their only headline UK show at the SSE Arena Wembley in London on February 8.
Their plans also include stops across mainland Europe, with tickets for the shows on general sale at 10am local time on July 3 in Europe and July 5 in the UK. Support comes from Amaranthe and Apocalyptica. Sabaton said:
"Our journey in UK has been long and full of people who did not believe in us. Thanks to fantastic fans we have proven over the years that our music will work in UK and now finally we are in the venue where we can use our full production and give all our fans in UK the great show you have been waiting for.
"You know by now how much we care about the bands we choose to bring with us on tour, this is no exception. Amaranthe is a rising star on the metal sky bringing such energy and passion rarely seen on stage and will open the evening. After that comes the big surprise for a lot of people who are not familiar with the cello rock band Apocalyptica, but trust us that their emotional show will definitively create magic in the arenas.
"Finally what we are bringing, except for our biggest touring production we ever did… Is a promise to deliver a show that you never could imagine and the biggest announcement regarding this tour is still to come."
The tour shares its name with the Swedish band's upcoming ninth studio album, which is scheduled to arrive on July 19 through Nuclear Blast. Head below to watch the video for the third track to be shared from the record, Great War, which conforms with the concept of the record, focusing on events from the First World War.
Sabaton also have European live dates in the diary for this summer, including a headline performance at Bloodstock festival.
