Blind Guardian Sells Out Sydney Show, Moves to New Venue

Earlier this year German metallers Blind Guardian revealed that they will be returning to Australia this September and October - playing Melbourne and for the first time ever, Sydney - live for three shows only, and today, Metal Massacre has announced that the forthcoming Blind Guardian Sydney date, originally scheduled to run at The Factory Theatre, has sold out! 

The event has been moved to the Metro Theatre, keeping the same date of September 30th, with only a limited amount of tickets remaining - which are available from Metal Massacre.

All tickets purchased for the Factory Theatre are still valid.

Blind Guardian Australian tour dates are as follows:

• Sydney September 30th – The Metro Theatre All Ages
• Melbourne October 2nd – Billboard the Venue
• Melbourne October 3rd – Billboard the Venue

Four years in the making, comes Blind Guardian’s latest effort, At The Edge Of Time. Once again, with focus on the bright sound of their signature orchestral compositions, At The Edge Of Time is the ninth studio album from the power metal troupe, which saw its release in 2010 through Nuclear Blast, and is the follow-up to their 2006 full-length, A Twist in the Myth.

“With every release, we want to define ourselves on a new level," commented vocalist Hansi Kürsch.

After all the worlds Blind Guardian has taken its audience to since their 1988 debut album Battalions of Fear, few would believe there are still new lands to discover in their music.

At The Edge Of Time is an album that frees us all from the concept of “terra firma” and carries us into the dimension of time, where imagination knows no limits, where all worlds exist at once, and where all existence is drenched in song for all time.

On their forthcoming Australian tour, Blind Guardian is set to perform tracks taken off their latest release, as well as fan favourites spanning their rich back catalogue form their 80’s inception to now! Additionally, Australian power metallers Black Majesty, and prog. metal outfit Eyefear – who are coincidentally marking their new album release – will be taken in tow on the tour run.

If you missed them last time around, DO NOT miss them this time; you may just miss your last opportunity to see Blind Guardian in Australia!
