Epica will play eleven European dates in autumn 2027 with a full orchestra and choir, under the name The Symphonic Synergy.
It opens at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp on 24 September and runs through Frankfurt, Prague, Gliwice, Berlin, Milan, Zurich, London, Paris and Madrid before finishing at Campo Pequeno in Lisbon on 11 October. The Royal Albert Hall show on 6 October is already sold out.
The format is not new to them. They first put the orchestra and choir on stage in 2024, in Amsterdam and Mexico City, across four nights that drew more than thirty thousand people between them. Eleven dates is a small number for a band this size, which is the point of the announcement.
