“25 years” – it almost feels unreal to write those words.

For 25 years, we have walked this path together. What started as a dream has grown into something far beyond what we could have ever imagined. And none of it would have been possible without you.

2027 will turn into a year full of special moments worldwide, and we’re kicking it off on January 29th at a unique, magical setting: The legendary Royal Theater Carré in Amsterdam. A historic venue, build in 1887, perfect for a night where past, present, and future will come together in an intimate way you’ve never heard Epica before.

Tickets will go one sale this Wednesday at 10:00 CEST.
