Swedish power metallers Sabaton have announced a trio of English arena shows for December 2025.

Part of The Legendary Tour, which takes in 20 shows across Europe, Sabaton play London’s The O2 (Thu 4th Dec), Manchester Co-op Live (Fri 5th Dec), and Nottingham Motorpoint Arena (Sat 6th Dec).

The military-obsessed collective always put on a phenomenal audiovisual live show, and they’ve promised to up the ante on the 2025 trek.

Sabaton's The Legendary Tour

Sabaton will be joined on stage by The Legendary Orchestra, and they enthuse: “We are conquering 20 European cities in 2025 with a groundbreaking tour that will be bigger and better than anything we’ve ever done!

“Plus, there’s a twist! Without revealing too much too soon, let's just say that we're planning to make history with the Legendary Orchestra.”

Planet Rock has a 24-hour pre-sale to Sabaton’s tour that starts at Aloud.com at 9am on Thursday 14th November. General sale follows on Friday.
