As the headline reads – legendary Swedish heavy rockers Europe will broadcast every Friday, starting October 23 and running for five weeks, special re-recordings of some of the band’s greatest songs recorded individually during the covid pandemic lockdown.

Bookending the five songs will be a special stream on October 16 of the band’s 2013 Sweden Rock Festival Headline performance with 2016’s The Final Countdown thirtieth Anniversary show, recorded at London’s Roundhouse, on November 27 to end this run.

The Live concerts will be available to view for seven days only.

The band’s own film footage was compiled and edited by the band’s long-time video director Patric Ullaeus at rEvolver.se, with all audio mixed by famed producer Kevin Shirley. Also featured is a cameo voice-over by Thin Lizzy legend Scott Gorham.

Vocalist Joey Tempest adds “We wanted to do something special for our fans and rock enthusiasts. We have re-recorded and filmed some uplifting songs from our back catalogue. Done during lockdown and over the summer in our home studios and rehearsal spaces. We had a blast just playing together again. Knowing we would start up our Friday Nights With Europe The Band on our social media this autumn made it extra special. We hope to keep these exclusive evenings going for our fans for a long time. At the same time keeping our name out there during this non-touring era by streaming and posting exclusive material. Let the madness begin!”.
