SYMPHONIC HOOKS & EPIC BATTLE HYMNS

The “Pirates & Kings Tour 2026” brings Visions Of Atlantis and Warkings back to Pratteln as co-headliners. Both bands are releasing new albums in July 2025: Warkings present their studio album Armageddon, while Visions Of Atlantis return with the live double album Armada Live Over Europe. On this joint tour, both bands celebrate their new releases and take us on adventurous journeys through epic battles and thrilling voyages across the seven seas.

Visions Of Atlantis:
Hauntingly beautiful melodies combined with symphonic grandeur and metallic heaviness – these are the unmistakable trademarks of symphonic metal powerhouse Visions Of Atlantis. In 2026, they once again whisk their listeners away on cinematic symphonic metal anthems, embarking on daring journeys across the seven seas. Since their formation in 2000 in the picturesque town of Bruck an der Mur (Austria), Visions Of Atlantis have been defined by their unique dual vocals: a powerful dialogue between a female and a male voice. Today, Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli stand at the helm together, impressing with a vocal range that effortlessly shifts between gentle, intimate melodies and towering operatic power.
On tour, Visions Of Atlantis have conquered vast territories across Europe, North and South America – as headliners and at legendary festivals such as Wacken, Bloodstock, ProgPower USA, the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise or the Sabaton Cruise. With songs like Melancholy Angel, Clocks, Legions Of The Seas or Master Of The Hurricane, as well as the acclaimed masterpieces Pirates (2022) and Pirates II – Armada (2024), the band has firmly established itself at the spearhead of symphonic metal. This celebrated Pirates era is now being honoured with the double album Armada Live Over Europe (release: July 4, 2025), featuring a collection of first-class live recordings from various tour stops that powerfully capture the raw energy, strength and unique bond between the band and their audience. Armada Live Over Europe is a true live-performance masterpiece and offers the perfect taste of what’s to come on the upcoming tour.

Warkings:
The Warkings return from Valhalla with the fanfares of the apocalypse. On their new studio album Armageddon (release: July 4, 2025), the five companions once again take up their weapons to bring the legends of their history to life through mighty power metal hymns. Each of them carries memories of great battles within – and now the time has come once more to spread these tales across the world together with the indomitable sorceress Morgana le Fay.
Since their formation in 2018, the Warkings have firmly established themselves on the scene with their epic power metal, deeply rooted in the tradition of legends such as Helloween, Gamma Ray, Running Wild and Manowar. They have conquered countless festival stages, shared the spotlight with heavyweights like Powerwolf, HammerFall and Subway To Sally, and built a loyal fanbase that has already celebrated their rousing songs on Europe’s biggest stages, including the Wacken Open Air. With their fifth album Armageddon, this close-knit brotherhood of heroes takes us on yet another thrilling journey through pivotal conquests that changed the course of history – moments when warriors stood firm, empires crumbled and the world was altered forever. Naturally, the Warkings’ proven musical formula remains intact on Armageddon: folkloric, heroic elements fused seamlessly with uncompromising heaviness, iron riffs, thunderous drums and distinctive, high-energy vocals. Epic hymns and rumbling battle cries provide the perfect fuel for unforgettable concert nights.
