Swedish Heavy Metal kings Europe will celebrate four decades of their breakthrough album The Final Countdown with a huge European run in 2026, playing the record in full every night.
Released in 1986 as the band’s third studio album, The Final Countdown turned Europe into global stars. The title track hit the Number 1 spot in 25 countries, the album spawned multiple Top 40 singles and spent more than a year on the US Billboard charts.
In the streaming era the song has only grown bigger. In 2022 Europe became the first Swedish band to pass one billion YouTube views for a single track, and the count is now pushing 1.4 billion.
Tickets go on general sale Friday 28 November at 10:00 local time, with UK presales from Wednesday 26 November at 10:00.
