Description

The most anticipated reunion in heavy metal history came true in 2017 when Helloween brought Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen back on stage for a successful world tour that took them to the biggest venues. But the meeting of the pumpkins, baptized as "Pumpkins United", could not remain a simple tour and Helloween launched to record a new and excellent self-titled album that has demonstrated their eternal ability to create great songs without losing sight of updating his sound. Now, together with the classic Swedish heavy metal warriors Hammerfall, the Germans embark on another huge tour, the “United Forces Tour”, to present their new songs and the necessary classics. A double poster of undeniable height with two of the greatest European exponents of a way of understanding traditional heavy metal that will stop in February 2023 in Madrid, at the WiZink Center. The concert, which was initially scheduled for October 2020 and then for 2022, has had to change its date to February 4, 2023. Tickets already purchased will be valid for the new date.

Helloween

Helloween is a German power metal band founded in 1984 in Hamburg by members of bands Iron Fist, Gentry, Second Hell and Powerfool. It is said that the band is one of the most influential European heavy metal bands of the 1980s.[2] Its first lineup consisted of singer and guitarist Kai Hansen, bassist Markus Grosskopf, guitarist Michael Weikath and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. By the time Hansen quit Helloween in 1989 to form Gamma Ray, the band had evolved into a five-piece, with Michael Kiske taking over as lead vocalist. Schwichtenberg and Kiske both parted ways with Helloween in 1993; Schwichtenberg died two years later as the result of suicide. Between then and 2016, there had been numerous line-up changes, leaving Grosskopf and Weikath as the only remaining original members. As a septet, their current lineup includes four-fifths of the Keeper of the Seven Keys: Parts I and II-era (1987–1988) lineup, featuring three additional members, vocalist Andi Deris (who had replaced Kiske in 1994), guitarist Sascha Gerstner and drummer Daniel Löble.

Since its inception, Helloween has released 16 studio albums, three live albums, three EPs and 30 singles, was honored with 14 gold and six platinum awards and has sold more than ten million records worldwide.[3][4] Helloween has been referred to as the "fathers of power metal",[5] as well as one of the so-called "big four" of the genre's early German scene, along with Grave Digger, Rage and Running Wild,[6] and as one of power metal "big four" overall, along with Blind Guardian, Sabaton and DragonForce.
