A few words from Peter Arkhult, the promoter of the Festival U Rock in Umeå on 26th May that will be headlined by Europe.
“U Rock is a new festival in Umeå, a town 1 hour flight North of Stockholm, so it’s pretty far up North. Europe will headline, it’s a one day festival with 4 bands (the others are yet to be announced). Europe has played in Umeå a couple of times, last time two years ago when they did the "Wings of tomorrow" tour, playing that complete record. We asked Europe because they are such a loved band that fits a broad rock festival. We are sure they will do an amazing show and are looking forward to May 26 in Umeå.”
Do you know that May 26 also marks the 30th birthday of the release of the album “The Final Countdown”? A special date indeed!

So they're playing a gig on the anniversary date for the TFC album release. Hmm... Wouldn't this be a perfect opportunity to do a TFC anniversary gig?
Most likely it will just be a regular gig and they'll save the anniversary stuff for the anniversary tour in October/November, but hey, it's still a fun thought.

I like both songs, but in my opinion "Rock the Night" fits much better as one of the last songs instead of one of the first.
