EUROPE - The Final Countdown - 40th Anniversary Tour

Since its release in 1986, the album of the same name has been one of the most successful rock records of all time: The title track reached number one in 25 countries, the album went multi-platinum worldwide, and it spent over 60 weeks on the US Billboard charts.

In 2022, the band made history again: The hit "The Final Countdown" became the first song by a Swedish band to surpass 1 billion YouTube views – it has now reached almost 1.4 billion.

The massive "The Final Countdown – 40th Anniversary Tour 2026" will take EUROPE through 12 countries with a total of 19 concerts, including shows in the UK, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Scandinavia.

Fans can look forward to a special live experience:

The band will present highlights from their entire career – and perform their iconic album "The Final Countdown" in its entirety. At their German show in Berlin, THE DAMN TRUTH, one of the most exciting new rock bands from Canada, will be joining them as special guests.

EUROPE can look back on an impressive career:

Following the worldwide success of the album, the band toured globally for decades, released eight more studio albums, and received numerous awards, including a Classic Rock Award and a Grammy. To this day, the group performs with its classic lineup – a rare exception in the rock scene.

In 2026, EUROPE will also release their 12th studio album, produced at RMV Studios in Stockholm by Tom Dalgety (Ghost, The Pixies, Royal Blood, Opeth). The title is still a secret, but fans can expect a powerful new chapter in the band's history.
