Ensiferum

Following Alissa White-Gluz’s live debut with power-metal icons DragonForce earlier in the month, the band’s latest line-up has now revealed plans to support 2006’s Inhuman Rampage with a full-on 20th anniversary tour. As previously reported, former Arch Enemy and current Blue Medusa vocalist White-Gluz was announced as DragonForce’s newest vocalist at the top of May, and she delivered a pair of sets with the band this month, at the Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple festivals. It had been noted at the time that the shows would mark the beginning of DragonForce’s 20th anniversary celebrations behind Inhuman Rampage. Today (May 26th), DragonForce announced that they’ll soon be launching a North American tour that will have the act playing Inhuman Rampage in full, while also delivering “other fan favorites and brand new songs.”“Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love,” guitarist Herman Li says in a statement. “Together we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next.” “As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” adds White-Gluz. “It feels great to showcase all the colors of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. Creating and performing with musicians who deeply care about the music and concerts as much as I do is so refreshing.” The trip begins November 13th at San Diego, California’s Observatory North Park, heads out to the east coast, throws in a couple of Canadian dates and concludes December 13th at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, California. The supporting acts will be Ensiferum and Rhapsody of Fire.Presales begin at noon ET today, while the public on-sale goes live this Friday (May 29th) at 10 a.m. local.
