Olli-Pekka Laine of Amorphis to miss upcoming European tour – replacement announced

Sometimes life just gets in the way and it’s impossible to predict what will happen. Olli-Pekka Laine, bass player for Amorphis, has announced that he will be unfortunately absent from the upcoming European tour with the band. But worry not, there is a very valid replacement announced!

Dear friends,

To my regret, I have to announce that due to compelling family reasons, I will not be joining Amorphis on the upcoming European tour.

Fortunately, and to everyone’s delight, our good friend and fantastic bassist Victor Brandt will be stepping in. Huge thanks to Victor, don’t miss the opportunity to see him perform live with Amorphis!

As things stand, I will return to the lineup on November 29, 2025, when we kick off the Finnish leg of our tour supporting the new Borderland album.

Thank you for your understanding, see you soon at the shows.

Olli-Pekka Laine
