Simone Simons’s health forces Epica to postpone all remaining shows this year

Bad news for our fellow metalheads in Asia who were waiting for Epica‘s live shows next month.

EPICA postpone their Asian Tour to September 2026

With great regret, we must inform you that we have had to reschedule our upcoming Asian Tour to September 2026. 
After dealing with multiple health issues, doctors have advised Simone not to tour until the end of the year. As much as it pains us, health comes first.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

*PURCHASED TICKETS WILL REMAIN VALID*
