The two were on the ‘Rock Meets Classic’ stage back in 2016, and wiped the audience of their feet with mega hits like ‘Lady In Black’.”
Among the songs being performed on this year’s tour are “Final Countdown”, “Rock The Night” and “Superstitious” from EUROPE, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “The Price” from TWISTED SISTER, “Easy Livin'” from URIAH HEEP, “Long Live Rock ‘N’ Roll” from RAINBOW, and “Broken Heart”, “Tell Me” and “When The Children Cry” from WHITE LION.
