Swedish rockers EUROPE have checked in with the following update:

"Heads up, Rockers!

On Sunday, March 17th at 23:05 (CET), P4 Sveriges Radio will air the documentary Svenska Albumklassiker: The Final Countdown. One hour of Europe nostalgia with the story behind the making of the album featuring all members of the band and producer Kevin Elson!

Fans should note that the show is in Swedish."

This year, Europe celebrate the 30th anniversary of the year in which they released their first album and they have confirmed a special show at Sweden Rock Festival 2013. This will be their only Swedish performance of the anniversary year! And it will be a grandiose event indeed, promises singer Joey Tempest. The stage show will be one of the greatest, if not the greatest of the band's entire career (certain very special guest stars will also appear). The setlist will be specially composed from Europe's entire nine-album discography. Including their cult debut Europe (1983), multi-million seller The Final Countdown (1986) and their most recent outing Bag Of Bones (2012) which has now reached gold status.

The performance will also be filmed for a DVD-release, so make sure you'll be present when a piece of Swedish rock history will be both created and preserved for posterity.

For the record: today's version of Europe is identical to the classic The Final Countdown lineup: Joey Tempest (vocals), John Norum (guitar), John Levén (bass), Mic Michaeli (keyboards) and Ian Haugland (drums).
