“The support from MANOWAR, their crew and fans has been overwhelming from the beginning.” said Johansson. “Everyone involved has welcomed me into their hearts without hesitation, and I have made friends for life.”

MANOWAR haben neue Termine für Dänemark und Estland bestätigt, sind jedoch aufgrund von Pandemiebeschränkungen gezwungen, auch zuvor angekündigte Shows in Deutschland und den Niederlanden auf Februar 2023 zu verschieben.

„Aufgrund der aktuellen Beschränkungen in Deutschland können groß angelegte Indoor-Musikveranstaltungen wie unsere Mega Tour derzeit einfach nicht garantiert werden“, sagte der Produktionsleiter der Band.

Um ihren Fans für ihre Loyalität und Unterstützung zu danken, haben MANOWAR ihre lang erwartete zweite offizielle Mega Fan Convention zur Tour hinzugefügt, die es den Fans ermöglichen wird, in das MANOWAR-Universum einzutauchen, einen Einblick in das Schaffen der Band zu erhalten und eine spezielle „Mega Fan Only“ MANOWAR-Performance aus der Nähe zu erleben. Das Datum und die Details für dieses Mega-Fan-Event werden in Kürze bekannt gegeben.

„Diese Shows erneut zu verschieben basiert auf staatlichen Vorschriften. Unsere erste und wichtigste Sorge war und wird immer die Gesundheit und Sicherheit unserer Fans sein und ihre Fähigkeit, die Show zu bekommen, die sie erwarten, und nichts weniger“, sagte Joey DeMaio. „Das bedeutet auch, dass wir absolut sicher sein müssen, dass unsere Produktion in den Hallen aufgeführt werden kann, für die die Fans Tickets gekauft haben. Viele unserer Fans und Crew reisen aus anderen Ländern an und wären derzeit aufgrund von Quarantänevorschriften und anderen Einschränkungen ausgeschlossen.“

„Aber es gibt gute Nachrichten.“ ergänzte DeMaio. „Im Rahmen der Terminverschiebung wird der Wunsch unserer Fans nach der „nächsten offiziellen Mega Fan Convention“ erfüllt! Wir freuen uns, unsere Schatzkammer zu öffnen und unseren Fans die Möglichkeit zu geben, die Geschichte von MANOWAR näher als je zuvor zu erkunden! Wir appellieren an alle die ein Ticket haben, dieses aufzubewahren. Wir verstehen und teilen die Frustration, aber wir werden das Warten mit einer Killer-Tour wettmachen!“

MANOWAR have confirmed new dates for Denmark and Estonia but due to pandemic restrictions have been forced to also move previously announced shows in Germany and The Netherlands to February 2023.

“Based on the current restrictions in Germany large-scale indoor music events such as our Mega Tour are just impossible to guarantee at this time”, said MANOWAR’s production manager.

To thank their fans for their loyalty and support MANOWAR have added their long-awaited second Official Mega Fan Convention to the tour, which will allow fans to immerse themselves into the MANOWAR universe, experience an inside view into the band’s body of work and enjoy a special “mega fan-only” MANOWAR performance in a close-up, face-melting setting. The date and details for this mega fan event will be announced soon.

“The rescheduling of these shows once again is based on government regulations. Our first and most important concern has always been and will always be for the health and safety of our fans and their ability to get the show that they are expecting, and nothing less,” said Joey DeMaio. “This also means that we have to be absolutely sure our production can be performed in the venues that fans have purchased tickets for. Many of our fans and crew travel from other countries and at this time would be excluded due to quarantine mandates and other restrictions.”

“But there is some good news.” DeMaio continued. “Rescheduling will fulfill our fans’ wish for “The Next Official Mega Fan Convention”! We’re excited to be opening our vaults and giving our fans the chance to explore MANOWAR history closer than ever! We urge everyone with a ticket to hold on to them. We understand and share the frustration, but we’re going to make up for the wait with a killer tour!”
