Helloween Announced To Play Mystic Festival 2027

The giants of European heavy metal are the second headliner of Mystic Festival 2027. Helloween’s classic songs in spectacular, contemporary renditions – the 40 years Anniversary show is something you will remember for the next four decades.

Did you listen to metal in the 80s already? Then you definitely had a copy of Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I, at least in Poland, it was a true household item back then. In the 90s, Helloween went on to change its colours like a chameleon, but they never broke the heavy metal oath. In the new millennium, the German band conjured up more fantastic albums, like a magician pulling out rabbits from his hat. And the last decade was a period of complete madness, blending all of these eras through the Pumpkins United lineup.

Following a triumphant 2026 touring and festival season, the demand for Helloween’s acclaimed “40 Years Anniversary” shows remains at the highest level. Sold-out performances, unforgettable festival appearances and overwhelming fan responses have convinced the band that the celebration is not over yet.

In 2027, Helloween will take their anniversary show on another victory lap, bringing the spectacular “40 Years Anniversary” production to some of Europe’s biggest festival stages. Among them will be a very special appearance in Poland at the Mystic Festival.

Fans can expect four decades of metal history, unforgettable classics, and a mind-blowing show that?has garnered frenetic applause at concerts around the world.?The celebration goes on! More...
