Cannons, conquests, and choir: Sabaton takes The O2 Arena London

Author Peterson Marti - 8.12.2025

Sabaton put on an incredible medieval battlefield show at The O2 Arena in London. The evening kicked off with The Legendary Orchestra, a 26-member global ensemble, who played an hour of stunning Sabaton’s music, really setting the mood for the headliners.

So, this concert started as a heavy metal show and then transformed into an incredible, immersive war story. They had this huge fortress set, powerful orchestral music, and awe-inspiring fireworks.

The show was full of immersive moments, like when the choir came back to join the band for songs like “Christmas Truce.” And who could forget that unforgettable scene during “The Attack of the Dead Men”? The band moved across the venue, filling it with smoke and interacting with the fans. This event was a fantastic blend of music, theatre, and visual spectacle, making it an unforgettable night.
