Hot on the heels of last year's Balls N' Banners UK Tour and sold out concert at London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire (where they filmed their recent live DVD), Sweden's biggest hard rock band undertakes a nationwide UK tour in November 2012.

Best known for their 1986 global classic rock anthem, 'The Final Countdown', the Swedish rockers received unanimous praise a heavier bluesy, hip-shaking metal sound. Their 9th studio album, 'Bag of Bones', released in the UK on Monday 30th April, is produced by Kevin Shirley, with celebrated blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa making a guest appearance on the title track.
