Euroblast Collective, Avocado Booking, InsideOut Music and Century Media Records have teamed up to bring you the finest in contemporary progressive metal with the first instalment of the Euroblast Tour.
Northwest America's STEALING AXION open the show with their melodic and expansive sound, followed by the djenty poundings of Sweden's VILDHJARTA and UK's technical power groove masters MONUMENTS as rotating direct support. The night will be closed by one of the most technically accomplished players in modern metal, JEFF LOOMIS of Nevermore fame, whose ability to push so many different boundaries of what's humanly possible on seven strings, makes him the perfect headliner.
