The Hard Rock institution PINK CREAM 69 will complete the package of Helloween and their very special guest STRATOVARIUS at all German concerts of the 7 Sinners world tour in February 2011. A special kind of circle will close for the Karlsruhe formation, celebrating their 20th birthday with the release of a Live-Double CD and a History/Live DVD last year. After all, Helloween singer Andi Deris was a founding member of Pink Cream 69 and co-shaped the band decisively at the beginning of their career. Both bands will share a stage for the very first time. All dates, venues and support bands, below:
