"At the moment we are preparing for our upcoming Mexican / South-American tour. We are looking forward to it a lot and we will make sure to make up for the previous two cancellations a few months ago! Since we are still getting a lot of mails from you guys asking about the health of Simone: Simone IS going to join us on this tour. She also made a little video message for you guys, you can view it by clicking here.

As we are playing two shows in Mexico City we wanted to make sure that the two shows would be totally different from each other. Since this year is our 5th anniversary of our debut album The Phantom Agony we have decided two play this album in it’s entire form at our second show in Circo Volador (September 7th)*. And to make it even more special we have decided to add an acoustic set to this show as well.

If you haven't bought your tickets yet, be sure to do so as soon as possible since some shows are almost sold out already. We hope to see you on the road!

Both shows in Mexico city will be on The Circo volador, venue of the second one was recently changed.

Epica also booked a presentation for Metal Female Voices VI during 18th and 19th of oct. in Belgium toghether with Tarja, Trail of Tears, L'ame Immortelle.
