EUROPE not only reveals the new cover. They are also talking about a tour in november-December 2017. "European Tour Dates for November and December to be announced imminently " Can't wait. Hope there'll be one or several dates in France !!  (don't know where to add this new into "europe concerts" section Stein...) |

I'm really hoping for a concert date in Oslo!  If not, then I'd be OK with heading to Stockholm for the third time.  According to the announcement, EUROPE won't be playing any songs from Walk the Earth until the UK tour with Deep Purple in November. But even though that's still a few months away, I'm already getting curious about the setlists for that tour as well as EUROPE's own Walk the Earth Tour. Whenever they've toured for a new album since the reunion, they've usually played five or six songs from that album. I'm sure that will be the case with Walk the Earth as well. "The Final Countdown", "Rock the Night", "Carrie" and "Superstitious" are pretty much guaranteed to be played. I'm also fairly certain that songs like "Last Look at Eden", "War of Kings" and "Days of Rock 'N' Roll" will be played as well. As for the other songs, I REALLY hope the guys will dig a little deeper in their catalogue instead of dragging on with "Scream of Anger" and "Sign of the Times" for the 500th time...  |

Yes, I really agree with you! Now it's time to swap those songs to songs from early second era (SFTD, for example). Some of them had disappered many years ago and some appered even more rarely... |

and "Sign of the Times" for the 500th time... But it's a classic   One of my favorites in all shows! It will also be interesting to see if Vasastan will still be the guitar solo for Norum, and if it will still lead into Girl From Lebanon or if they try out something different. |

Don't get me wrong, "Sign of the Times" is a great song, one of the best on the Out of This World album. Personally speaking, I'm just so tired of that particular song (and "Scream of Anger") being played live so many times, especially when there are so many other great songs they could play live instead, both from the old albums and from the post-reunion albums. |

Plus, if I remember correctly, Sign of the Times is one of Mic's favorite songs to play live. The crowd also loves it so I think they will stick with this one I'm afraid But I agree with you Stein, for sure. Would be nice if they dug up some other old or new songs for a change! Let the children play for example, that one always went down great live. Or Brave and beautiful Soul! Flames would also be nice to hear again. Old songs: Tower's Callin'! I think Norum could make that riff sound really heavy and it would suit the current Europe sound. It would also be nice if they played other songs from TFC, inspired by the anniversary tour they did. Like Love Chaser. I'm sure the crowd would love it. But yeah, they already play 3 songs from that album (the hits), so I don't think they will add more. |

Yes, Love Chaser would be great! And I also love Sing of the times, although some new-old songs couldn't hurt... And maybe something more rare from OOTW as we are heading towards 2018 ..

Wonderful, a new album and tour! My first reaction when I heard the title was, this is a great opportunity for them to work "No Stone Unturned" back into the setlist, based on the first few words of the song. I'd love to hear some older tunes as well that haven't played in a while; Open Your Heart, rarer songs from TFC, Seven Doors Hotel. It might also be fun to get a first-time live playing of something from Start From The Dark as well, like "Reason", or "Settle for Love", or "Spirit of the Underdog".
Looking forward to it!

"Open Your Heart" ( Wings of Tomorrow version) is my all-time favorite EUROPE ballad, so I would love to have it back on the setlist.  "No Stone Unturned" is one of the most epic songs from the post-reunion albums, so it definitely deserves to come back on the setlist.  And "Seven Doors Hotel"... Classic EUROPE. Oh, by the way: Welcome to the forum!  |

After the anniversary tour of THE FINAL COUNTDOWN I would like that the band recover to play in live LOVE CHASER, how soooo good sounded last year in Madrid, or at least that seemed to me, I loved ... what a great song. And I would leave in the setlist as fixed READY OR NOT, instead of SIGN OF THE TIMES, ... just my thought.
