EUROPE

Don’t Miss: Europe is Hitting The Stage in 2026!

In 1986, Swedish rock icons EUROPE released their momentous third album “The Final Countdown” which catapulted the group to international fame with the title track single reaching No1 in 25 countries around the globe. The multi-platinum selling album topped the charts around the globe with four top 40 singles and over 60 weeks on the American billboard charts.

With the continued success of the song into the digital age, the band received an award from YouTube in 2022 for the first Swedish band ever to receive a BILLION views for any one song … and of course the number keeps rising, as of today it’s close to 1.4 Billion Views.

The “The Final Countdown 40th Anniversary” tour will travel across 12 countries including UK, Netherlands, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway taking in 19 concerts.  The show will consist of a career retrospective set list culminating in the band playing The Final Countdown Album in its entirety.

Since the release of The Final Countdown the group has continuously toured the world, released eight more albums earning them a Classic Rock Award, a Grammy and many other accolades.

The group is one of the elite number of Artists to retain their complete classic line up and 2026 will also see the release of their 12th studio record. As yet untitled, the album was recorded at RMV studios in Stockholm in October 2025 with famed producer Tom Dalgety (Ghost, The Pixies, Royal Blood, Opeth).

Joey Tempest “In a blink of an eye 40 years have passed and we’re about to perform TFC in full for only the second time in our career, together with other hits and our favorite songs from our upcoming album.

This will be amazing – we’re working on making the production and show match this very special occasion.”
