Dutch symphonic rockers EPICA have issued the following update:

"As we want to play two completely different setlists in Paris on November 6th and 7th we have decided to play the whole album Design Your Universe on the 6th. So for those who cannot come to Paradiso anymore as it's sold out, there will be another chance to hear the entire album in Paris!

The pre-sales for our European tour are going very well. Get your tickets in time for the following shows as some of them might and some will probably sell out!

Substage - Karlsruhe

Abaton - Prague

Masters of Rock - Zlin

Szene - Vienna

Alcatrazz - Milan

Salamandra - Barcelona

Sala Penelope - Madrid

Transbordeur - Lyon

Elysee Montmarte - Paris

Those who become a member of The Fantom Agony or The French Crusade (fanclubs) at Escape - Veenendaal or Paradiso - Amsterdam will get an Epica clock as welcome gift.

The first 200 visitors of Paradiso will get a warm welcome of Jagermeister and their girls and receive an Epica USB stick. On this stick you can find many exclusive, rare and previously unreleased Epica tracks.

See you all on tour! We are looking forward to it!"

Greets,

Epica
