HELLOWEEN are gearing up to celebrate their 40th anniversary by announcing a European tour in Fall 2025. While Andi Deris, Michael Kiske, Michael Weikath, Kai Hansen, Markus Grosskopf, Sascha Gerstner, and Dani Löble are working intensely on the follow-up to their reunion album, they have revealed a tour filled with spectacular anniversary events.
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 play tracks 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 shows will kick off on October 17, 2025, in Luxembourg, taking HELLOWEEN across Europe for six weeks. In addition to performing new tracks from their still-untitled new album, they’ll be joined by Finland’s BEAST IN BLACK as special guests, promising a metal celebration like no other.
