MANOWAR have added yet another first to their upcoming “Gods And Kings World Tour 2016”: A choir comprised of students from Trollhättan’s Hjortmosseskolan and Udevalla’s Västerskolan will open the MANOWAR show on February 5th 2016 at Nova Arena, Trollhättan.

Following a first successful collaboration in Germany in January 2015, MANOWAR had extended the invitation to share their stage with young classical musicians to their 2016 tour.

„We are looking forward to the first ever performance of a youth choir in one of our shows“ said Joey DeMaio. „We launched this initative to encourage young classical musicians, and acknwocklege their passion for their music and their commitment to do something that may not be considered ‚cool’ among their peers. We want to show them that standing up for what you believe in pays off, regardless what others say!“ he continued. „We know our Manowarriors will welcome these kids to our family and reward them for their courage!“

The choir members are between 14 and 16 years of age and are all studying a specialized music profile. They will perform pieces from their repertoire as well as MANOWAR songs.

On the “Gods And Kings World Tour 2016” MANOWAR will celebrate Kings Of Metal MMXIV, which many fans haven’t had a chance to experience live yet, as well as the upcoming anniversary of Gods Of War, which was unleashed on the world in 2007. The set list will be packed with fan favorites from both albums, plus many other classics and special surprises.

It is with much regret that we must report that our previously announced concerts scheduled to take place in Cluj-Napoca and Bucharest (on February 19 and 21 2016, respectively) are officially cancelled due to lack of contractually agreed payment by the promoter.

While MANOWAR always does the maximum possible to attend the demand of their fans to go to their cities, it is impossible for the band to bring such massive productions without a reliable partner in their country, who respects their contractual financial commitments.

We urge all fans who bought tickets for these shows to immediately contact their original point of purchase to obtain a full refund. Promoters S.C. PROJECT EVENTS S.R.L. may also be contacted for refunds via phone (031-4329187) or website (http://www.projectevents.ro/contact).

All other shows of the Gods And Kings World Tour 2016 will take place as scheduled.

After the great success during their Essen (Germany) show in January 2015 where a 100-piece youth orchestra performed a set of classical and MANOWAR songs, MANOWAR will once again give young classical musicians their stage to play in front of the greatest fans in the world, the Manowarriors.

Norway’s RUSO orchestra (Rogaland Youth Symphony Orchestra) will open MANOWAR’s show on February 2nd, 2016 in Stavanger’s Konserthus.

“There is so much that unites true metal and classical music: The love for a massive, larger-than-live sound. An unparalleled passion for your music, no matter what others say! And the prejudice that these genres are often met with! Just look how many meanwhile celebrated classical composers were treated during their lifetime!” said Joey DeMaio. “We want to give new musicians confidence and show everybody that classical music is cool!” said DeMaio, who personally travelled to Stavanger to meet with representatives of the orchestra and kick off the project.

Members of the RUSO orchestra will play pieces from their repertoire, as well as some of MANOWAR’s classical songs.

“The RUSO orchestra was founded in 2004 with the goal to inspire and motivate children and young adults who play a classical instrument to play even more, and to let everybody feel the unique bond of playing in an orchestra – no matter if they want to become professionals, amateur musicians or just lovers of classical music,” explained Sindre Lyslo, co-founder of RUSO and an accomplished violin teacher and violinist himself. “We are very excited and honored about this opportunity to play for MANOWAR’s following!”

The “Gods And Kings World Tour 2016“ will celebrate Kings Of Metal MMXIV, which many fans haven’t had a chance to experience live yet, as well as the upcoming anniversary of Gods Of War, which was unleashed on the world in 2007. The set list will be packed with fan favorites from both albums, plus many other classics and special surprises.
