Re: UK fans are the first to catch new Stratovarius live
6. One of the songs on the next Stratovarius album is called:
a) But I poop from there!
b) King of Nothing
c) Darmstadt, 4:38 AM
d) Padraig O'Hanrahan's Jig
it's a shame it's not a trick question with all 4 songs being on the album.
I'm sure "but i poop from there!" would hit the fan and be a hit with the fans
hopefully we get some vids to hear king of nothing live

Though UK is not around the corner, it's great to hear they are hitting the road again!
I just hope (and almost be sure) they will come to Switzerland Z7

Re: UK fans are the first to catch new Stratovarius live
I read that Firewind's gonna be the supporting act for the English/Scottish/Irish dates. That's a way too powerful duo. I hope this continues for the rest of the European dates, when they come out.
Re: UK fans are the first to catch new Stratovarius live
None of the gigs even remotely near Wales!
Jens...
Did you not think of me when sorting these gigs out? lol!
Will try to make London or Manchester then.
