ELUVEITIE: Entire "Helvetios" Album to be Performed During North American Tour!

 

Swiss new wave of folk metal pioneers ELUVEITIE recently checked in from their current UK tour to give this exciting update:

 

"We cannot wait to be back in North America in support of our two latest releases, for the first time headlining with material from our recent concept album! To celebrate this occasion, we have decided to treat our North American fans to a very special show. One that we in fact have only performed once before. Besides a selection of our all-time hits, we will be playing the full album Helvetios from beginning to end, live on stage, every night!"

 

Tickets are going fast so make sure you get yours in time! Purchase links can be found in the touring section on eluveitie.ch.
