Sabaton in Örebro

Sabaton is a Swedish power-metal band formed in Falun in 1999. Military history is the central subject of its songs, including “Primo Victoria,” “Ghost Division” and “The Last Stand,” while The Art of War, Carolus Rex and Heroes are among its best-known albums. On the Swedish Empire Tour, Sabaton built its set around Carolus Rex and played an extensive run of headline dates. In 2019, the band marked its twentieth anniversary at Wacken Open Air with a performance spread across the festival’s two main stages. The Great Tour then paired Sabaton with Apocalyptica on European dates, followed later by The Tour to End All Tours. Sabaton performs as a full metal band led by singer Joakim Brodén. A tank-shaped drum riser has become a recurring feature of its arena and festival shows. In London, Sabaton has headlined OVO Arena Wembley; in Amsterdam, the band has performed at Ziggo Dome.
