“The Final Countdown” paved the way for EUROPE’s success and in 2025 they play at Alive festival!
Alive festival 2024 was a record success with three July days of music, a magical atmosphere and nearly 40,000 visits by people of all ages. With ambition, joy and passion, organisers have started the work for the coming summer’s festival. This week ticket sales began and they can now reveal the first confirmed band EUROPE!
The Swedish rock band was formed in Upplands Väsby north of Stockholm in 1979 by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson and drummer Tony Reno. They broke through in Sweden in 1982 when they won the first edition of the competition “Rock-SM” and had their big international breakthrough in 1986 with their third album, “The Final Countdown”.
Since then, the band has sold over 10 million albums worldwide and the albums “The Final Countdown” and “Out of This World” were in the top 20 on the Billboard 200 list. Europe has, during its 45-year career, released eleven studio albums, three live albums, three compilation albums and twenty-four music videos. At the turn of the year, the band’s twelfth studio album will be released and this summer Joey Tempest, John Norum, bassist John Levén, keyboardist Mic Michaeli and drummer Ian Haugland will take their place on the Alive stage.
We are extremely happy to announce that Europe is the first band we present for Alive festival 2025. Europe is an iconic band with a fantastic history, and their music has inspired generations. Having them as one of our main acts marks a strong start for the festival, and we look forward to giving our visitors an unforgettable experience next summer – Patrik Schultz, CEO of Alive festival
