Barely 10 months after their last tour, Sabaton plan to invade these shores once again as part of “The Last Tour” – their biggest tour to date. Panic not, the name is more in relation to their forthcoming album entitled The Last Stand than a run of farewell shows! The album is due on August 19th.
Says Sabaton’s bass player Pär Sundström:
We have just finished our new album, which is titled The Last Stand and we know we have done a great album, which all fans of Sabaton can appreciate for many years. If it is the best album of us, time will tell… But what we can tell for sure is that The Last Tour will be the biggest and best tour of Sabaton ever. It is the tour we have been looking forward to do for all these years!
Touring comes from classic act Accept. Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann had this to say:
Accepting a tour with Sabaton is the result of a very cool relationship we have with the band. It was a great pleasure to tour with them in USA and we followed their career with respect over the years. We have not seen a band who has such a clear vision where they want to go and it is rare that bands can translate their visions into real action. Sabaton are a hard working band and are a serious role model for aspiring musicians and young bands. We are looking forward to have an exciting tour – especially after we have been in the studio for a while and sure feel some kind of cabin fever…
