A MIGHTY METAL ODYSSEY

The Motocultor Across Europe Tour returns in winter 2027 with full force. Headlined by Italian symphonic power metal legends Rhapsody Of Fire, who celebrate their 30th band anniversary with a very special setlist, this tour package promises an epic journey through the European metal landscape. Serious Black join the tour as special guests.

From January 7 to February 6, 2027, the Motocultor Across Europe Tour will travel through eleven countries, once again bringing a carefully curated selection of international metal acts to the stage. At the center are Rhapsody Of Fire, who have stood for majestic symphonic power metal, cinematic orchestrations, heroic storytelling and breathtaking musicianship for three decades. To celebrate their anniversary, fans can look forward to a special setlist covering the most important chapters of the band’s history and honouring the Italians’ greatest anthems in fitting style. Special guests Serious Black will add even more firepower. The international melodic metal formation combines powerful riffs, modern production and catchy choruses into an energetic sound that perfectly fits this package. Silver Dust and Rock Out also represent Switzerland on the billing, bringing the local hard’n’heavy spirit to the stage with full force. Completing the line-up are power metallers Aeon Gods. A diverse metal night filled with international heavyweights and explosive live energy is guaranteed.

Rhapsody of Fire: With Rhapsody Of Fire, one thing is certain: the Italian melodic power metal veterans have been delivering uncompromising quality since 1993. With 14 studio albums and their unique “Symphonic Epic Hollywood Metal,” mastermind Alex Staropoli has influenced entire generations of metal bands. On the current album Challenge The Wind, the band focuses entirely on uptempo tracks and pure metal without ballads for the very first time.

Serious Black: Since 2014, Serious Black have stood for anthemic power metal and energetic live shows around the world. With Rise Of Akhenaton, they returned to the straightforward classic sound that originally made the band famous. Singer Nikola Mijic adds even more directness and huge melodies to the songs.

Silver Dust from Porrentruy have built a strong reputation through major festival appearances and tours across Europe. After sharing stages with bands like Soen, Lordi and Moonspell, they return in 2025 with Symphony Of Chaos. The album combines epic melodies, heavy riffs and atmospheric depth into a new chapter of their sound.

Aeon Gods: After the end of Aeternitas, Anja and Alex Hunzinger created Aeon Gods, a new cinematic power and symphonic metal project. Their album Reborn To Light dives deep into Egyptian mythology and combines orchestral soundscapes with heavy riffs and massive choirs. At its core stands the dramatic journey of the sun god Ra through the underworld.

Rock Out stand for honest, straightforward rock’n’roll filled with beer, leather jackets and pure energy. The band from the Emmental region is considered one of the great hopes of Swiss rock and remains fully committed to classic guitar-driven sound. Powerful, passionate and down-to-earth, they bring fresh energy into a genre that simply refuses to die.
