Sabaton on Tour
There's a very good reason that Swedish metal band Sabaton have been nominated multiple times for Best Live Band at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. In concert, the group are a well-oiled riffing machine driven by thrashing guitars, epic keyboards and punishing drums. Charismatic vocalist Joakim Brodén, meanwhile, encourages the crowd's enthusiasm and the aggression around him onstage like a cool-under-fire circus ringmaster. The resulting show feels like an ecstatic communal experience in which audience members are bonded together by the (very metal) mayhem.
Sabaton have toured with acts such as DragonForce and HammerFall bringing venues like The Fillmore (Detroit) and The Fillmore (Minneapolis) to capacity, and appeared at major events such as the UK's Download Festival. The band also did a 20th-anniversary celebration gig at the 2019 Wacken Open Air festival that featured special appearances from multiple former members. And, since 2008, the band have thrown their own Sabaton Open Air festival, which features a packed lineup of hard rock and metal bands in addition to a unique Sabaton headlining gig.
Sabaton in Concert
Formed in 1999, Sabaton have pushed Swedish metal forward into remarkable new directions. Across their career, the band have specialized in well-researched lyrics rooted in world history and military-related events, including 2019's "Bismarck," a tune named after (and inspired by) the epic German battleship that sank in spring 1941.
Sabaton have also released several albums inspired by great works (for example, Sun Tzu's legendary book The Art of War inspired 2008's The Art of War) and important events: 2012's Carolus Rex is all about the Swedish empire's ill-fated existence, while World War I informed the concept of 2019's The Great War. Although Sabaton are frequently considered to be power metal, their music isn't easily pigeonholed. Their majestic guitar melodies and intricate solos echo heavy metal greats of the 1980s and '90s, while the cinematic keyboards and slick production conjure symphonic metal's theatrical bent.
It’s not the band’s fault but the sound was not great at the Prudential Center in Newark. Great energy and set.
I LOVE SEEING SABATON AT THE FILLMORE!!! They put on such a great show and this venue is perfect for their show! Can’t wait to come see them a third time when they are state side!!!!
songs were awesome. community was fun and friendly. absolutely astonishing how awesome and fun this was when i went. i really hope they tour around here again!!
Get the early entry pass! Barely off center on the rail, and people were lined up around the block. Amazing show, crowd was excellent. Sabaton always delivers.
Absolutely love Sabaton and their performance is always amazing especially in a small theatre like this. Only issue was maybe a little overbooked.
Sabaton never fails to give a marvelous show! Every time i see them i love them even more.
Sabaton is one of the most fun bands I have ever seen live! They perform their songs flawlessly, but you can tell that they have a ton of fun with each other and a great time performing for their audiences as well, which just makes their shows even more fun! Their props and stage decorations really add an amazing atmosphere as well that brings the wars discussed in their songs to life. Go see Sabaton if you haven't and go see them again if you have!
It was absolutely great to see Sabaton live! However, the sound effects at the venue were not favorable for many songs. Noise was enhanced too strongly and overall volume was uncomfortably high. Stadium concerts I was at before felt better.
Sabaton was amazing, so much energy They were better than the main act. I’d see Sabaton again if given the chance
Second time ive seen Sabaton. First time at the Mgm venue. Show was amazing!! Cant wait to see them again!!!!
