EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR 2026

The spectacle you have been waiting for.

This video is an epic, imaginative metal music video featuring Visions of Atlantis and Warkings. The theme revolves around pirates, kings, power, and heroism.

A blend of symphonic power metal (typical of Visions of Atlantis), a combative, mythological atmosphere (typical of Warkings), and cinematic imagery featuring pirates, ships, battles, and ritual scenes. A story of alliance, struggle, and epic victory.

It's a typical Napalm Records production: grand, visually theatrical, and musically bombastic.

Helloween's 40th anniversary tour won't just take place in Europe, but will expand to North America, Asia (including Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Japan), and even South America. It's a true world tour, running through 2025 and 2026.
