SONATA ARCTICA AND STRATOVARIUS TO TOUR TOGETHER EARLY THIS YEAR

Power metal fans are in for a treat when two of Finland's most famous power metal bands of all time, Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius, head out on a unique joint tour of Finland in February and March.

The Nordic Power Metal Titans 2025 tour is, as the name suggests, a true battle of the titans. The incredible careers of both bands began back in the last millennium and the bands have each shaped the course of melodic metal history in their own way. Both Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius have released dozens of albums and built a worldwide fan base.

Sonata Arctica's most recent release is "Clear Cold Beyond", a return to the band's musical roots, released earlier this year, and Stratovarius' brave and traditional-sounding "Demand" single.
