Triumphantly returning to North American shores in support of their Billboard-charting new album At The Edge Of Time, Germany’s favorite sons BLIND GUARDIAN are pleased to announce the western hemisphere’s portion of the Sacred Worlds And Songs Divine 2010 World Tour, commencing on November 19th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and concluding on December 22nd in West Springfield, Virginia. Support acts are California’s Holy Grail and Florida’s Seven Kingdoms.
BLIND GUARDIAN’s lead vocalist & lyricist Hansi Kürsch shares the following about the upcoming trek:
“Christmas will be a little earlier this year, ‘cause The Guardian is coming to town in November and December! The band is really excited and we have prepared a nice package of music and bands for our Northern American followers. Our friends from Holy Grail and Seven Kingdoms will join us and will have their part in these magical nights to come. We are really anxious to see if the people in Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, and Albuquerque – where we have not played before – can scream as loud as their brothers and sisters in New York, Quebec, Toronto, or Hollywood. We’ll soon find out when we meet you at the edge of time.”
At The Edge Of Time debuted at the #1 position on the American Billboard Heatseekers chart and #108 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart the week following its August 24th release.
