Swedish SABATON are preparing a big celebration as they approach the milestone of 25 years in the music industry. SABATON began their musical journey in Falun, Sweden in 1999. To date, they have released 10 studio albums, toured extensively internationally and gained fans around the world.
To mark this important milestone, SABATON, will launch an annual celebration. Fans around the world can look forward to a host of festivities and plenty of surprises. Each month of 2024 will be dedicated to an album from their discography, starting with “Primo Victoria” and ending with “The War To End All Wars”. Special activities will be provided to give fans information about each studio album.
Highlights include album stories, song events and album listening parties during which band members will reminisce and discuss their favorite tracks, while sharing never-before-heard experiences with their fans. Other exciting initiatives include fun games, contests and giveaways that will give fans the chance to win unique prizes, as well as limited edition exclusive anniversary merchandise to mark their 25th anniversary.
SABATON frontman, Joakim Brodén, expressed his excitement for the upcoming celebration, saying:
“This is a massive milestone for us. Our fans have been with us every step of the way and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this monumental occasion with them. We’re planning some great things that we’ve never done before, and we’re confident that 2024 will be one to remember, especially as we are heading to the studio at the beginning of next year to begin working on new music!”
SABATON bassist and manager, Pär Sundström, added:
“It’s hard to believe that a quarter of a century of us playing music and doing what we love the most has passed already. It’s been one hell of a journey, that’s for sure. We sing about history, but looking back we also wrote some history. Stay tuned!”
The 25th anniversary celebrations will also include retrospective photos, videos and behind-the-scenes looks at SABATON’s career, taking fans on a nostalgic journey through the band’s history.
SABATON will enter the studio at the end of January 2024, to begin recording their eleventh album. The follow-up to 2022’s The War To End All Wars is tentatively due later in 2024 via Nuclear Blast Records.
