HELLOWEEN are celebrating forty years of band and metal history in 2025 and are doing so with their fans on an anniversary tour of superlatives, with more shows reported as sold out today. Alongside Bochum, Stuttgart is now also reported sold out from the German dates.
Andi Deris, Michael Kiske, Michael Weikath, Kai Hansen, Markus Grosskopf, Sascha Gerstner, and Dani Löble have completed work on the successor to the sensational reunion album. "Giants & Monsters" will be released on 29.08.25 and will leave no wishes unfulfilled.
The live dates begin on 17.10.25 in Luxembourg and will take HELLOWEEN through six weeks across Europe. The flight cases contain not only the fresh material from the new long player but also all HELLOWEEN hits from the last 40 years. Bassist and founding member Markus Grosskopf explains: "We have come up with some great surprises for the fans and will be playing not only the brand-new songs that will hit the stage live for the first time but also tracks from the band's history that haven't been heard live in a long time or even ever. The shows will be a fantastic experience for all of us!"
As 'very special guests', the Finnish metal success story BEAST IN BLACK is another guarantee for a metal party from another planet.
In the first half of 2026, dates in Asia, South and North America are scheduled before Germany's metal ambassadors No. 1 will clarify at the biggest festivals in Europe in summer '26 that the 'glorious seven' are still firing on all cylinders after 40 years.
