MANTICORA announces headlining European tour
03-03-2020
Danish thrash/prog metallers, MANTICORA have announced a European headliner tour for 2021. They are headed out on what could likely be the first heavy metal-related European tour in 2021, after the lock-down.
Covid-19 has robbed the world of way too many shows, but with the vaccine-programmes being rolled out and the warmer temperatures coming up on the European continent, Manticora have chosen to take the chance and book a tour that will ride the back-end of the great re-opening of the countries.
The tour schedule is as follows:
14/5: Hads Herred Rock festival, Gylling, Denmark
21/5: Sønderborghus, Sønderborg, Denmark
27/5: Turock, Essen, Germany
28/5: TBA
29/5: Podium Duycker, Hoofddorp, The Netherlands
30/5: Hedon, Zwolle, The Netherlands
01/6: South Of Heaven, Bilzen, Belgium
02/6: La Boule Noire, Paris, France
03/6: Rock ‘n Eat, Lyon, France
04/6: Secret Place, Montpellier, France
05/6: Bóveda, Barcelona, Spain
06/6: Caracol, Madrid, Spain
09/6: 7er Club, Mannheim, Germany
10/6: Backstage, Munich, Germany
11/6: TBA
12/6: Progresja, Warsaw, Poland
The tour will see the band, playing their first show ever in Poland as well as a return to some cities, where Manticora haven’t performed for way too many years.
The 334 page novel itself was released in May 2018, followed by the first album of the concept in August 2018.
