Info
Europe brings The Final Countdown 40th Anniversary Tour to Eventim Apollo, London, on 3 October 2026. Formed around Joey Tempest and John Norum, the Swedish band helped define a melodic hard rock sound built on strong vocals, prominent keys and sharp riffs. This tour revisits the 1986 album that took them worldwide, with its title track alongside Carrie and Rock the Night, and adds material from Wings of Tomorrow and later records like Start from the Dark and War of Kings. The classic line-up delivers the songs that traced their path.
Support comes from Gun, the Glasgow band led by the Gizzi brothers, blending melodic hard rock and British classic rock. The set draws from Taking on the World, Gallus, Swagger and recent releases.
Opening, The Damn Truth bring a 70s-minded blend from Montreal: blues rock guitars, hard rock energy and a soul-leaning vocal. Pieces from Dear in the Headlights, Devilish Folk and Now or Nowhere set the tone for a straight-up rock night.
