Epica are teaming up with German power metallers Powerwolf for an European co-headline tour in early 2017. This trek will happen in support of the Dutch metallers upcoming album, The Holographic Principle, which will be released on September 30th, 2016. The tour begins in January.

Singer Simone Simons offered: "Woohoo, this fall we're releasing our 7th studio album and the band has exciting times coming up! A new album means a new Epica chapter, and obviously a new world tour. In Early 2017, we'll join forces with our German friends in Powerwolf and together, storm stages all over Europe. If you want to hear our brand new songs come to life, if you want to see our brand new visuals, and if you simply want to have a good time with us, we expect to see you on our biggest tour to date! I really can't wait to be back on the road again and to see the music, the energy, and our lovely fans become one. Until then!"

Matthew Greywolf of Powerwolf adds: "In early 2017 we will embark on a special tour, sharing stages throughout Europe with the amazing Epica. Those shows will become Powerwolf's biggest indoor metal masses to date. Be prepared for an amazing stage set and crazy nights full of metal madness!"
