Wow, what a guitar double bill... well worth the ticket price!

Gus G. of Greek melodic metallers FIREWIND has issued the following update:

"Even though we toured the U.K. hard in 2008 and are still planning to kick some serious ass at the Hellfire Festival next month, when the opportunity came to do this tour with STRATOVARIUS, we just couldn't say no.

"U.K. and Ireland have turned out to be some of the best places on earth for FIREWIND when it comes to our ever growing fanbase and on how dedicated our fans are in these countries. Teaming up with STRATOVARIUS makes this such a killer package. They are a band with quality, catchy melodic songs and a high level of musicianship. They are pioneers in their genre. They are definitely a band that has inspired us and we are honoured to share the same stage with them!!

"So what can you expect from FIREWIND on this one?
a) your face melted by our Metal,
b) a different setlist, and
c) maybe even an exclusive brand new track?

See you out there very soon!"
