Helloween are heading into their anniversary year, celebrating 40 years of band, and metal history. While Andi Deris, Michael Kiske, Michael Weikath, Kai Hansen, Markus Grosskopf, Sascha Gerstner and Dani Löble are working intensively on the successor to their sensational reunion album, they are now announcing an anniversary tour of superlatives at the same time.

Bassist and founding member Markus Grosskopf explains: "We came up with some great surprises for the fans. Besides the brand new songs to be performed live for the first time, we will also play tracks from the band's history that you haven't heard live for a very long time or even never before. The shows will be a fantastic experience for all of us!"

Frontman Andi Deris adds: "We’re having a lot of fun working creatively in the studio and the album promises to become an absolute highlight – but nothing compares to a Helloween live concert: The energy of our audience is simply indescribable and we can't wait to finally go full throttle with our fans again. The upcoming tour will be bigger, better and more impressive than ever!"

The live dates start October 17, 2025 in Luxembourg and will take Helloween all over Europe for six weeks. Besides the brand new songs of their still untitled new long player, they will bring along Beast In Black from Finland as their "very special guest" – and this guarantees a metal party to be out of this world.

2026 will be starting with dates in Asia, South and North America, before Germany's No. 1 metal ambassadors will make it to Europe's biggest festivals in the summer of '26.
