EUROPE will be joined by special guests Scott Gorham (BLACK STONE RIDERS, THIN LIZZY) and MICHAEL SCHENKER (ex-SCORPIONS, UFO) at their upcoming 30th Anniversary show at the Sweden Rock Festival, which will take place June 5th - 8th in Sölvesborg, Sweden.

This will be Europe's 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. 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).
