Amorphis confirm 2016 European tour

Amorphis have announced 37-date European tour for 2016.

Fresh off a tour with Nightwish and Arch Enemy, the Finnish outfit hit the road for headline shows in support of this year’s album Under The Red Cloud, starting in Hannover on March 3. Six UK dates and a show in Dublin are included in the run.

Guitarist Esa Holopainen says: “The Under The Red Cloud world tour started right after the record release and it’s been a great tour with Nightwish and Arch Enemy ever since.

“That said, I’m really stoked to hit the road for another leg of European dates starting in March. It will be the widest headlining tour in Europe for us to date and we’ll have great special guests along the way. It’s gonna be epic. So, see you on the road.”

Tickets are on sale now.
