This Fall, Dutch symphonic metal titans Epica and Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie will join forces to co-headline across North America. This trek, sponsored by Revolver Magazine, also has Canada’s The Agonist supporting on all dates. Please see below for all tour dates.

Epica front woman Simone Simons comments: “We are ecstatic to finally return to North America. It is time to nurture our long-distance relationship with our fans over in North America. We'll have a wonderful time together and will perform songs spanning our entire discography. You guys better be ready for us.”

This will mark Epica’s long-awaited return to North America after the band’s tour with Machine Head in 2013 was cancelled. It will also be the group’s first North American run in support of latest album, "The Quantum Enigma," which hit the charts all over Europe and beyond.

Eluveitie’s lead vocalist Chrigel Glanzmann further states: ”We're 8 months into the ‘Origins’ World Tour now and far from getting tired! We can't wait to finally return to the USA and Canada; especially because we'll return alongside the mighty Epica! By Toutatis, this is gonna be fucking awesome!"

I've been really digging the new Eluveitie album and the chance to see them and Epica (and The Agonist that I missed last month) is worth the 10 hour drive.
I have GOT to find a way to make that show!
