With just under a month to go before Sabaton's new album Legends is released, the Swedish power metallers have planned something big for the subsequent "The Legendary Tour". In an interview with Ola Englund, the guitarist of The Haunted and head of Solar Guitars, bassist Pär Sundström reveals that there will be two stages on the tour!

"We have bigger things planned for the upcoming tour," the Sabaton bassist reveals in the YouTube show Coffee With Ola. "And it is something very special, that's why we have to build it around the Legends album. But I don't want to give too much away. I think it will be very exciting to see it. And we are also building a show that is a little more than just a rock show. So we have two stages and something that connects them. On the previous 'The Tour To End All Tours' we did a few theatrical things, that was a bit more theater than we had done before. Many fans liked that. And that further strengthened the themes of the show. So we thought: Okay, let's continue down that path."

The Legendary Orchestra as a Special Guest

But that's not the only surprise: Sabaton is bringing a special opening act on tour: "And then we have this little twist with the opening act The Legendary Orchestra, which we specifically created for this. It is not Sabaton and the orchestra. There will be a complete Sabaton concert, but before that there is a whole show from The Legendary Orchestra. You can think of it as a Sabaton cover band that plays songs of ours, but in orchestral arrangements with lead instrumentalists, lead singers, and choirs. It's very powerful, very soulful, and, of course, sounds completely different — no electric guitars, no drums, no percussion. So a Sabaton fan gets many Sabaton songs. We simply can't play all our songs ourselves, because that would be a very long evening for us. And we couldn't play many of them."
