Arch Enemy

UK Tour now rescheduled for November

It’s the news that metal fans across the UK have been waiting for, for some time now – metal titans ARCH ENEMY ARE COMING TO HEADLINE THE UK .. and they’re bringing Sabbat with them!

We are very sorry to have to announce the long awaited forthcoming headline tour from Metal titans Arch Enemy has had to be postponed until later this year.

Arch Enemy has released the following statement about the postponement
“Sorry to all our great UK fans, but the tour we had scheduled for next week has unfortunately been postponed ’til November 2010.

As we all know, it’s been a tough time in Europe with the volcanic ash shutting down airspace in 23 countries and causing travel misery for millions of people. One minute airports are open – the next they are not. We are determined to make these shows work but don’t want to disappoint our fans, so it has been mutually agreed upon that the best way forward is to postpone the UK dates ’til November. It’s important to make it clear that this is not a cancellation — we just have to move the tour to a different time.

Sorry again to all who planned to attend. Hope to see you in November!”

The new and only UK Arch Enemy dates for 2010 are:

November 23 – Manchester @ Academy 2
November 24 – Glasgow @ Garage
November 25 – Wolverhampton @ Wulfrun Hall
November 27 – London @ The Forum

All tickets will remain valid for the new dates.

Singer Angela Gossow checked in from the road to say a few words to the UK fans ‘We strongly felt its time to visit the shores of The United Kingdom Of Heavy Metal again! We miss you, ladies and gentlemen!!! We only did the Bloodstock Festival in 2009. It was a fantastic gig and reminded us of why we love the Amott brothers’ homeland so much. Even better, we are bringing the UK cult thrashers Sabbat with us and the Norwegian Sons Of Darkness, Enslaved! We will cook up a devastating setlist for this run and won’t leave any prisoners behind ;-) Get ready for The Metal Hammer Meltdown attack!’

Arch Enemy have teamed up with Metal Hammer Magazine and Kilimanjaro for the inaugural Metal Hammer Meltdown tour.
Metal Hammer Magazine Editor Alexander Milas comments “It’s been far too long since these shores were blackened by the ball-hefting brutality of Arch Enemy, so imagine our surprise when we heard they were bringing none other than the classic thrash of the almighty Sabbat and the prog-heavy viking metal of Enslaved in tow. It’s an honour to hang our banner on what promise to be a truly neck-snapping series of dates. Mosh ahoy!”
