Savatage Is Back: After a Triumphant South American Return, the Band Prepares for “Madness Reigns” European Headline Tour and Festival Run!
After a decade-long hiatus, Savatage made a triumphant return to the stage, launching their long-awaited world tour in South America, which marked their first performances in the region in over 20 years. The tour commenced with a highly anticipated performance at the 30th Anniversary Edition of the Monsters of Rock Festival in São Paulo, Brazil, where the band shared the stage with fellow rock titans like Scorpions, Judas Priest, and Europe. Thousands of passionate fans packed the venue, wearing Savatage merch and raising signs and posters in celebration of the band's return. The show was marked by nostalgic hit songs, opening with "The Ocean" and "Welcome", performed live for the first time since 1998. One of the most emotional highlights of the night came during a touching moment when a pre-recorded video of Jon Oliva performing "Believe" played out, followed by a heartfelt slideshow tribute to Criss Oliva — leaving the audience visibly moved and solidifying the show as one of the most unforgettable in the band's South American tour.
And for the European fans, get ready! Following their massive success in South America, Savatage will hit the road across Europe this summer. The tour includes several headline shows, some of which sold out within hours, as well as major festival appearances. And that’s not all — fans can expect a few special surprises along the way.
