Epica have revealed today that they will be returning to the United States for another leg of the tour supporting The Holographic Principle. Dubbed “The Ultimate Principle,” the band are bringing a line-up that surely emphasizes the “ultimate” aspect.
The band released the following with the tour’s announcement:
NORTH AMERICAN LEGION! You asked for more, you’ll get more! After all the great reactions we got on our North American tour last year, we’re stoked to announce that we’re coming back to your side of the globe in August and September! Bigger venues, bigger production; we’re ready to give you all we’ve got! Not to mention the killer bands we’re bringing over with us: Lacuna Coil, Insomnium and Elantris!
*VIP upgrades available NOW through www.epica.vip
*Tickets will go on sale on Friday 28th April at 10:00 AM PT throughwww.epica.nl/tour !
Both vocalist Simone Simmons and Lacuna Coil vocalist Christina Scabbia had posted pictures with each other earlier this week, essentially leading to believe the two would be touring together. Insomnium has been announcing shows all week, but their inclusion, as with Elantris, on this bill is surely a surprising one and a pleasant one, as well. Last year I gushed over my love for Winter’s Gate, as have many others since its release last year. Lacuna Coil also found success with the release of Delirium, with many citing it to be the best work thus far.
