Yngwie Malmsteen last graced these shores when he played a one-off headline show at O2 Forum Kentish Town in August 2017.

Malmsteen’s last tour dates took place way back in the summer of 2008, and his planned dates in 2022 were axed due to the pandemic.

The 60-year-old musician’s last studio album ‘Parabellum’ was released in July 2022 via the Mascot Label Group.
