Dutch symphonic rockers EPICA have issued the following update:

"Once upon a time Mark Jansen (guitars) and Floor Jansen (REVAMP) started making music in the band called AFTER FOREVER. Today they will join forces again on a European tour, together with the French band KELLS. Epica very much looks forward to this tour as it's a great package that will attract and fulfill the wishes of many fans.

A great opportunity for ReVamp to introduce themselves to the European audience. The three bands on this tour all have their own and distinctive sound, which will guarantee you a varied and heavy evening. ReVamp will open this special night, followed by Kells and headliner Epica.

See you on the road."
