Aaahhhh! So that was what this mysterious post was all about on the Europe The Crew page... Sweet!! Excited to see something from the band again! One thing is weird about this though. It seems to be today...but zero promotion? Why didn't the band post anything about this? Or maybe it will be like a suprise. Maybe all of sudden they will announce it? That they go live in like 2 hours? Let's see... Here's the link from the Europe The Crew page: www.facebook.com/groups/387082024661520/permalink/3248047391898288/(It's not a public page by the way, you have to become a member. But i can really recommend it! It's interesting to follow when the band is on tour.)

Well it appears to be for Netapp customers only, so its a private gig.. They secretly announced it to the fans through Europe The Crew page by showing the complete crew working to setup the stage. Hopefully we will get access since they will e-mail the link, but I don't have it yet. Maybe share the link here when somebody receives the link?

Thanks for the details from the Europe The Crew page, great to get a look at what might be in store, as I had no idea what to expect from the advert. The post came up fine by the way on their Facebook page, although I've now requested to join hopefully to get future updates.
I also found it advertised on Twitter (although there was no sign-up link):
Hopefully the link for the webinar/concert will come through later today. It's not unusual for links to be sent out closer to an event (e.g. hour or so before), so if you are registered I would expect the links to come through. Let's hope so!

Stefania just gave me a tip about the setlist. If you zoom in on this photo published on Europe The Crew's Facebook page, you can spot the setlist: {Setlist spoiler!}1 Rock the Night * 2 Superstitious 3 Carrie 4 Ready or Not 5 Open Your Heart 6 Let the Good Times Rock 7 Cherokee 8 Final Countdown
* = This is just a guess, but highly likely.

This setlist is expected since they play a concert 'in front of' people that don't know the band well and with an one hour set.... but still a little disappointing

It's basically the SINGLES of the 2 most popular albums plus "Ready Or Not"... will this ever appear on youtube or something?

probably not.. Or maybe they made a deal that allows them to publish it afterwards as a Corona lockdown treat
