Epica and Amaranthe on joint European tour

What the sparrows have already been whistling from the rooftops is now a confirmed reality: Epica and Amaranthe will embark on a joint co-headlining tour through Europe and the UK in early 2026.

For Epica, the tour is the first European live run for their upcoming album Aspiral, which will be released on April 11, 2025. The band promises a spectacular show inspired by their sold-out “The Symphonic Synergy” concerts. Frontwoman Simone Simons and band will focus on the bombastic elements that have characterized Epica for more than a quarter of a century.

Amaranthe, on the other hand, remain true to their successful formula: catchy pop-metal anthems, electronic influences and energetic live shows. With their latest album The Catalyst and three vocalists on stage, the band once again shows why they have over a billion streams and 500,000 albums sold worldwide.

As a special extra, Charlotte Wessels will accompany the tour with her new solo project The Obsession. The former Delain singer recently released her new solo album on Napalm Records, revealing a whole new musical facet.

Tickets go on sale on 14 February at 10 am CET on epica.nl/tour and amaranthe.se/tour.
