Due to a heavy infection of his vocal chords, vocalist Tony Kakko had to visit a hospital in Budapest yesterday. The show in Graz (18.11.2009) had to be cancelled as well as the two following shows in Vienna (19.11.2009) and in Munich (20.11.2009) as the severity of the infection does not allow him to perform on next few days.

Sonata Arctica regret to disappoint their fans in Graz, Vienna and Munich, but of course these shows will be re-scheduled and the new dates will be announced soon. Tickets for all shows will remain valid. Sonata Arctica apologize for any inconvenience.

The band hopes that Tony will convalesce from his illness fast, so that the tour can go on with the show in Pratteln/Z7 (22.11.2009).


Here are the new, re-scheduled dates. All tickets remain valid.

04.02.2010 Vienna / Gasometer
05.02.2010 Graz / Seifenfabrik
06.02.2010 Munich / Backstage
