SABATON Announces New Tour and Releases 'Legends' Album

Swedish metallers SABATON have confirmed the 'Legends On Tour' across North America, beginning September 23 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and concluding on December 12 in Fort Lauderdale. The tour features POP EVIL and WINGS OF STEEL as supporting acts. A full European leg, 'The Legendary Tour Part 2', is set to take place in April 2027, following the successful debut of the North American tour that sold out major venues including London's O2 Arena and Manchester's Co-op Live.

SABATON released its eleventh studio album, 'Legends', at the end of 2025. The album has amassed nearly 200 million streams and received a 4/5 rating from Kerrang!, which praised the band's consistent excellence and cinematic expansion of their battlefield themes.

The band also released a new version of the 2025 hit 'Templars', featuring Leigh Kakaty of POP EVIL. The single is available on all digital platforms via Better Noise Music. Additionally, SABATON's single 'Yamato' continues to generate buzz, with over 7.5 million Spotify streams and 4.6 million views on its music video, following a partnership with the online game World Of Warships and developer Wargaming. The band previously collaborated with Wargaming on the track 'Bismarck', which has surpassed 124 million Spotify streams and 111 million video views.

Joakim Brodén, SABATON's vocalist, confirmed that while the band remains in active songwriting mode, no official theme has been confirmed for a follow-up to 'Legends'. He stated that the band typically takes a six-month break after album completion before re-engaging with new material, and that ideas are gathered and developed over time before finalizing a new project.
