It was the bombshell of 2021: with their sixteenth, self-titled album HELLOWEEN, the legendary Hamburg band returned as a seven-member lineup, igniting a global metal shockwave. The album shot to #1 on charts in multiple countries and was wildly celebrated by fans and critics alike. The triumph continued live in 2022 and 2023 with 60 emotionally charged concerts across 30 countries. As headliners at Wacken, shows in Los Angeles and New York, the “Monsters of Rock” festivals in South America, and their first sold-out gig at the legendary Budokan in Tokyo, over 800,000 fans and reunited band members were swept up in a storm of sweat and joyful tears. These incredible performances can be relived with the release of the live CD and Blu-ray / DVD ‘Live at Budokan’ on December 13, 2024.With these highlights in their catalogue, HELLOWEEN is gearing up to celebrate their anniversary year, marking 40 years of band and metal history. As Andi Deris, Michael Kiske, Michael Weikath, Kai Hansen, Markus Grosskopf, Sascha Gerstner, and Dani Löble work intensively on the follow-up to their sensational reunion album, they’re also announcing a JUBILEE TOUR of epic proportions. As bassist and founding member Markus Grosskopf explains: “We’ve planned some amazing surprises for the fans, and along with brand-new songs being performed live for the first time, we’ll also play tracks from our history that haven’t been heard live in a long time - or even ever. The shows are going to be an incredible experience for all of us!”
Frontman Andi Deris adds, “We’re having an absolute blast creating in the studio, and this album promises to be a real highlight - but nothing compares to a HELLOWEEN concert: the energy from our fans is simply indescribable, and we can’t wait to give it our all with them again. The upcoming tour will be bigger, better, and more impressive than ever!”
The tour kicks off on October 17, 2025, in Luxembourg, taking HELLOWEEN across Europe for six weeks. Along for the ride is brand-new material from their yet-to-be-titled album, as well as the high-energy setlists of BEAST IN BLACK: the Finnish band, as “very special guests,” promises to bring a stellar metal party. In the first half of 2026, HELLOWEEN will head to Asia, South America, and North America before taking to the biggest European festivals in summer 2026 to prove that the “magnificent seven” can still fire on all cylinders, even after 40 years.
