In September the band will embark on the Space Police World Tour with a brand new astonishing stage production. The first tour dates can be found below, more dates in other countries will be announced in the forthcoming days and weeks.

Tobias Sammet comments: “Finally, Edguy are back! No rock opera, just going on stage and delivering the greatest high velocity entertainment show of the decade. 'King Of Fools', 'Lavatory Love Machine', 'Tears Of A Mandrake' and a lot more old and new stuff. It feels great to go on stage with my childhood friends again, after the DEEP PURPLE tour it's amazing to come with our own stage production again and turn every venue into an arena. It's all just a matter of attitude. Quite simple and humble as always: We're all looking forward to bulldoze our way across the world, armed with sabre, torch, a bunch of guitars and a huge old school stage production. Don't be silly, be there!“
