Sabaton
In over two decades since their launch, Swedish metallers Sabaton have solidified their reputation as one of the hardest-working bands in the industry. They have amassed a global following, released ten highly-rated studio albums (including two certified platinum sellers), and earned numerous industry awards. Notably, they have also established their annual festival and cruise.
Combining powerful riffs with vocalist Joakim Brodén’s distinctive gruff baritone, Sabaton defies easy genre categorisation. Known for their historical narratives of real-life wars and the individuals involved, their lyrics delve into intense campaigns, acts of bravery, victories, and personal struggles—stories more captivating than fiction itself. The band has headlined across North America, Australia, and Japan, consistently packing arenas and topping festival bills throughout Europe.
SUPPORT
Amaranthe
Amaranthe is a Swedish-Danish metal band known for fusing melodic death metal, metalcore, and power metal with modern pop and electronic elements. Formed in 2008 by Olof Mörck and Joacim “Jake E” Lundberg, the band quickly built a signature sound around a three-vocalist approach, featuring clean male, female, and harsh vocals. Their dynamic energy and genre-blending style first captured attention with their 2011 self-titled debut and has continued to evolve with each release.
Albums like Massive Addictive, Maximalism, and Manifest have cemented Amaranthe’s reputation for delivering high-impact anthems and innovative production. Known for their polished live shows, the band has cultivated a passionate fanbase across Europe, North America, and beyond, continually pushing the boundaries of modern metal.
