Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA have announced "The Symphonic Synergy" European tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary. The tour will feature a full orchestra and choir, returning to major venues across Europe with the same concept that captivated over 30,000 fans during a 2024 performance in Amsterdam and Mexico City. The event will be among the most exclusive in EPICA's history, offering fans a rare cinematic experience of the band's music.

The tour spans 11 dates, beginning September 24 in Antwerpen, Belgium, at Lotto Arena, and concluding October 11 in Lisbon, Portugal, at Sagres Campo Pequeno. Key stops include Frankfurt, Prague, Berlin, Milano, Zürich, and Paris. The London show at Royal Albert Hall, previously sold out, is included in the itinerary.

The tour was conceived in 2024 when EPICA first performed with a full orchestra and choir, and now returns with a reimagined production to honor 25 years of musical evolution. EPICA, formed in the Netherlands in 2002, gained global recognition with their debut album "The Phantom Agony" in 2003. The band has since refined a signature sound anchored by Simone Simons's lead vocals, Mark Jansen's growls, Isaac Delahaye's guitar work, Coen Janssen's keyboard arrangements, and the rhythmic foundation of Ariën Van Weesenbeek and Rob Van Der Loo.

Tickets go on general sale September 18 at 10:00 CEST via www.epica.nl/tour.
