Powerwolf and DragonForce to Tour North America with Cheesy Power Metal
A collision between two immensely popular yet profoundly campy power metal bands is on the horizon this fall, as Powerwolf from Germany and DragonForce from the U.K. join forces for a colossal North American tour. Powerwolf, having already left a significant mark with their maiden tours across North America, surges forward as the primary act for the 13-date tour, which includes their premiere performances at both Louder Than Life and Aftershock Festival. Accompanying them on this journey, DragonForce will serve as the tour’s special guest supporting act.
The epic North American tour commences on September 17 in Toronto, Canada, subsequently making stops in pivotal locations like Detroit, Vancouver, and Seattle, and culminating in the final show on October 4 in Sacramento, California. While individual pre-sales are set to debut today, tickets will become available to the general public this Friday, April 11, at 10 a.m. local time.
