First time in 35 years.

More Europe Europe

For the first time in their 35-year career, Swedish hard rock legends Europe have announced they will embark on an Australian tour in 2018. 

In support of their October-released 11th studio album, Walk The Earth, the band, featuring Joey Tempest, John Norum, Mic Michaeli, John Leven and Ian Haugland, will head Down Under in May for shows in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

"We are so excited to be touring Australia for the first time," Tempest said.

"It's something we always wanted to do, but we just couldn't make the schedules work before. 

"But now… it's going to happen and we can finally hook up with our friends Down Under!"
