Savatage have announced a headline show in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The show will take place April 21 at Espaco Unimed with special guest Opeth.
Guitarist Chris Caffery: “Legions!!! Something is going on!!!
Have been waiting patiently for a couple months to make this announcement! I knew we were planning a headline show in São Paulo but until it was officially announced I was staying silent…Now…it’s officially official!”
Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 AM BRT at eventim.com.
Savatage will performing at Brazil’s Monsters Of Rock event prior to the headline show. It will be the band’s first Brazilian headlining concert in over 20 years.
Savatage (Johnny Lee Middleton – bass, Chris Caffery – guitars, Al Pitrelli – guitars, Jeff Plate – drums, and Zak Stevens – vocals) recently announced tour dates across Europe for summer 2025, with a mix of festival appearances and headline shows.
It has been confirmed that the band’s June 14 show in Overghausen, Germany is officially sold out, and the June 19 in Munich, Germany has been moved from the Tonhalle to the larger Zenith venue due to ticket demand.
Says Zak Stevens: “As you can imagine, there are so many special things about these shows that are racing through my mind. We get to play a series of headline shows for the first time in over twenty years that will put us right back in front of all of the unbelievable fans who have given us so many unforgettable memories over the last three decades. Here’s our chance to directly give back to everyone who’s been there supporting us all these years! All the great festival shows are going to be off-the-charts amazing. It’s even hard to imagine the scale of excitement that’s going to take place with those shows.”
Savatage mastermind Jon Oliva expressed his disappointment at not being able to join the band for the shows, but shared his excitement, stating: “I am very excited for the guys to be doing some shows. Unfortunately, due to health issues, I will not be able to join the guys for this run. Hopefully, this is just temporary. I will continue working in the studio on new music for the future. These shows will be awesome and I will be working with them to get it all ready for you. I know everyone is going to love it!!! Me and the guys are very excited and ready to kick ass! So from me, thank you all for the support for all these years and we can’t wait to rock you!”
