EPICA announces 'The Symphonic Synergy' September/October 2027 European tour
16-09-2026
After selling out London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall in less than three days, Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA have announced “The Symphonic Synergy” European tour.
The band will take a full orchestra and choir to some of Europe’s most spectacular venues. Fans in 10 countries will be able to experience this extraordinary production in celebration of EPICA‘s 25th anniversary.
“The Symphonic Synergy” originated in 2024, when EPICA performed with a full orchestra and choir in Amsterdam and Mexico City, captivating more than 30,000 fans over four nights.
This spectacular show now returns. Same concept, but re-imagined and adapted to celebrate 25 years of EPICA. With only 11 European dates announced, “The Symphonic Synergy” will be among the most exclusive and unmissable events of EPICA‘s existence — offering their fans a rare opportunity to experience the band’s music in its most powerful and cinematic form.
Get a first glimpse of what to expect through a live video, captured during the original 2024 show, below.

This version, titled ‘Eye Of The Storm (Live At The Ziggo Dome)‘, was recorded last month at the band’s biggest headline show to date – a sold-out night at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome in front of 10,000 fans. The track arrives just as EPICA kick-off the second leg of ‘The Arcane Dimensions Tour‘ with Amaranthe and former DELAIN lead singer Charlotte Wessels.

Last December EPICA released a new single, “Avatar – The Final Incarnation”, a track that deals with the final incarnation (Avatar) to rid the world of unrighteousness and restore truth and purity. The single is accompanied by a visualizer featuring artwork taken directly from the band’s forthcoming EPICA Oracle Card Set, launching worldwide on January 7.
Watch “Avatar – The Final Incarnation” below.
Also watch the previously “Fight To Survive – The Overview Effect”, released “T.I.M.E.”, “Cross The Divide”, “Arcana” (directed by Remko Tielemans) and “The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre)” below.
The LP title is derived from the eponymous bronze sculpture made by Polish sculptor and painter Stanisław Szukalski back in 1965 and stands for renewal and inspiration — key words that define EPICA in 2025. In Szukalski’s work every detail is a piece of art in its own right, and there’s always more to the story than you initially think. The band saw this as the perfect analogy for the creation of this ninth album: each song stands on its own with a distinctive vibe and meaning, while together they enforce each other into a monumental effort.
The album, featuring stunning cover artwork by Hedi Xandt (RAMMSTEIN, GHOST, PARKWAY DRIVE),is now available for pre-order. The special editions even include the Blu-ray and audio recordings of the full monumental “Symphonic Synergy” performance in Amsterdam that the band recorded in 2024 with an orchestra and choir.
Recorded once again at Sandlane Studios and expertly mixed and produced by Joost Van Den Broek, “Aspiral” boasts 11 new tracks:
01. Cross The Divide
02. Arcana
03. Darkness Dies In Light – A New Age Dawns Part VII
04. Obsidian Heart
05. Fight to Survive – The Overview Effect
06. Metanoia – A New Age Dawns Part VIII
07. T.I.M.E.
08. Apparition
09. Eye Of The Storm
10. The Grand Saga Of Existence – A New Age Dawns Part IX
11. Aspiral
