Stratovarius Announce First Tour Of Australia

Finnish metal outfit Stratovarius will be visiting Australia for the very first time in October for two special performances.

The veteran band have been around for almost three decades, blasting out their own unique brand of power and symphonic metal and cementing themselves as one of the leading outfits across those genres.

Fans can expect a bit of everything when they hit Melbourne and Sydney later in the year, with the band set to perform material off their latest LP release Nemesis plus a lot of their other well-known tracks. They'll also be supported by local metal acts Eyefear and Darker Half at the shows.

Earlybird tickets are available this Wednesday 26 June, with the rest on sale from Monday 1 July.

For now, here's some 2013 Stratovarius, in the shape of Halycon Days.
