Sonata Arctica Announce 2025 Headlining North American Shows
In addition to their previously announced support dates with Symphony X, the legendary Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica are pleased to announce five headlining dates on their upcoming North American Tour. Joining the band as openers on all dates will be the American instrumental band Powerglove.
The band comments: “It’s been awhile since we last toured the US and Canada, so it’s gonna be really awesome to come back and kick some ass once again. With our new album, we made a return to Power Metal, so you can expect to hear some favourites from the past that we haven’t played in years, as well as some new stuff. See you all soon! ”
All dates are in support of their critically acclaimed album Clear Cold Beyond, which was released in 2024.

About Sonata Arctica:
Founded almost 30 years ago in Kemi, Finland, and releasing their first album, Ecliptica, in 1999, the ambitious Finns quickly grew into the position as gatekeepers of the best melodic metal sounds; bursting with the innovative joy of playing and completed with their special, individual note; the voice of Tony Kakko. Eleven masterpieces have been created in the last three decades of the band’s history, and stylistically, Sonata Arctica has never let themselves be deprived of trying out new ways and leaving old habits behind. From classical Power Metal to more progressive excursions, to now finally coming full circle with their return to roots album & tour, each album has its own charm – a perceptible life of its own. Yet Sonata Arctica have always been true to themselves. With their skills, their talent, their wealth of ideas, and their daring, the band has decisively influenced the genre and had a lasting impact on it.
