Europe, Scandinavias biggest rock band ever is reuniting for a world tour, new album and DVD.

The band, Joey Tempest, John Norum, Mic Michaeli, John Levén and Ian Haugland
have long talked about getting back together.

”After the first band jam in years it felt so right, like we’ve
just been away for a lunchbreak” – Ian Haugland Mic Michaeli adds
”Also, touring has always been a big part for the band and we look forward
to some hard work again”.

Their manager, Petri H. Lundén, founder/owner of the Gothenburg based
artist management Talent Trust says “The market is absolutely crazy about
the idea of Europe getting back together since they decided to split when they
were still at the top of their game, which in itself is unique. We and the band
made a set-up which made the reunion decision inevitable”.

”Ever since we started there has been something magic about this band…”
John Norum says. ”The new stuff sounds fresh and hard but still with the
typical Europe melodies in focus” says Joey Tempest, “.. and extremely
organic” John Norum finishes.

”With my new project Einstein/Marcello management, co-operation with
Revolver film, producing other acts through GEM music in addition to the work
with my coming soloalbum this in itself is to much for me to cope with, let
alone an Europe reunion” says Kee Marcello who has however promised to
join the band on the forthcoming worldtour.

”To finally once again meet our fans throughout the world feels incredibly
inspiring, its them that made us what we are today” – John Levén

the release of the new CD and DVD, and promoters regarding the world tour.
