Power Quest on tour with Freedom Call

Symphony · December 18th, 2011, 06:03 AM

Press Release 18.12.2011

POWER QUEST confirmed to support Freedom Call

Following on from an overwhelmingly successful first show with new vocalist Colin Callanan in Wakefield in November, Power Quest are pleased to announce they will be returning to Europe in March 2012 as special guests of German power metal legends Freedom Call. The dates are as follows:

08.03.12 Thu CH Pratteln @ Z7 
09.03.12 Fri GER Kaufbeuren @ Allkart Halle (Partyraum) 
10.03.12 Sat GER Aschaffenburg @ Colos-Saal 
11.03.12 Sun GER Bochum @ Zeche

Prior to that tour, Power Quest will be starting 2012 by headlining day 1 of the Arctic Festival in London, at the Bridgehouse2, on Friday January 6th.Tickets are available via the following link: http://thearcticagency.bigcartel.com/

In the meantime, the Power Quest camp would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the very best for the coming year. Thank you for all your support during 2011, especially everyone who came out to see us at Bloodstock, Hammerfest, on tour with Symphony X and Crimson Glory or at one of our own headline shows in the UK and Europe!  See you somewhere on tour in 2012!

That's great news and I hope the exposure will open some doors for you in Europe. A pity you are supporting FC, not the other way around, as I genuinely believe PQ is a much better act both live and on record! I think I'm qualified to say this as I saw both bands in Wakefield last month just a week apart. FC were outplayed and outclassed on every level!

Just a matter of time until you start to get the recognition you deserve.

moleSG · December 18th, 2011, 08:49 AM

Awesome news guys!

Kingface · December 18th, 2011, 09:05 AM

Awesome news! No doubt it will be a success and whoever goes to any of these shows is bound to be in for a treat!

1928 · December 18th, 2011, 10:04 AM

That's amazing news, congrats!!

Andiferum · December 18th, 2011, 02:11 PM

Congrats guys!

Nickstervarius · December 18th, 2011, 03:03 PM

Nice one lads!

Cronopio · December 18th, 2011, 04:14 PM

That is seriously awesome news. As Freedom Call are releasing a new album next year, they'll probably go on tour again, and I've been kicking myself for not seeing them when they've been in Sweden, so 2012 is the year. When I read the thread title I was like 'EPIC WIN - HELL YEAH, I'M IN'. I have friends in Dortmund, so maybe it would be possible to hook something up.

Power_Metal_Dom · December 19th, 2011, 01:49 AM

I. Must. Get. To. One. Of. These!

Two amazing landmark power metal bands sharing the stage!

This will do wonders for PQ, congrats guys!

Symphony · December 19th, 2011, 02:52 AM

Probably the "catchiest" tour ever???

thinking about coming to bochum...

The Crystal King · December 20th, 2011, 04:42 AM

Can't wait for this tour!! I remember being blown away by Freedom Call back at Wacken 2000

Then saw them at Bloodstock in 2002 or 2004? Can't remember! Great band.

Cronopio · December 20th, 2011, 03:53 PM

That's a great poster, but people seriously need to learn that Power Quest is a two-word band.

Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this

Power_Metal_Dom · December 21st, 2011, 02:21 AM

"Powerquest" puts my teeth on edge

Reminds me of Luca Turilli's Dreamquest

Symphony · December 21st, 2011, 02:40 AM

the two word thing has been an issue ever since the dawn of the band.....I guess the logo hints slightly at it being one word but I don't buy it personally

Cronopio · December 21st, 2011, 02:06 PM

Yeah, if you're unsure, just check the spine of the albums.

Symphony · January 18th, 2012, 02:16 AM

Set chosen for this and production rehearsals scheduled for February 17th - 19th. We will be playing 45 minutes.

Cronopio · January 18th, 2012, 09:35 AM

That means focus pretty much on the new material, right? Not that anyone should be complaining, it's basically a win situation regardless of the songs you play.

Symphony · January 18th, 2012, 03:10 PM

Couple of new ones but mainly older stuff this time :-)

Power_Metal_Dom · January 19th, 2012, 02:40 AM

The classics always go down a storm

Well, the whole set does to be fair

The Crystal King · January 24th, 2012, 09:53 AM

Lots of classics my friend! Love singing songs from the first album hehe (spoiler!!)

giodude · January 24th, 2012, 10:49 AM

Thanks for the support guys

Really looking forward to these shows. Rock on!!!!
