First formed by frontman Joey Tempest and guitarist John Norum, Europe has sold millions of albums throughout their four decades together. They shot to fame in 1986 with single The Final Countdown making number one in 25 countries, and the album of the same name securing a spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
The band have been touring non-stop since 2021 with performances taking place all over. This summer will be no different as Europe have appearances booked in rock festivals in Norway, Sweden, Spain and the Czech Republic.
Then, to end the year, the group will be taking a trip back in time, kicking off this 40-year celebration in Switzerland before winding up in London. A real treat for '80s rock fans, here’s how you can get tickets.
