More than 50 museums spanning 23 countries have already confirmed their participation in SABATON’s unprecedented global museum initiative entitled History Rocks, which revolves around the worldwide premiere of the Swedish heavy metal band’s animated film, The War To End All Wars – The Movie this coming November.
As word of the project spreads, more and more museums are joining the participation list every day. Hitting the 50 mark was a milestone that was anticipated by the band from the very beginning, and this number is expected to rise significantly.

BLOODSTOCK has a final update for you with some last minute band news and a couple of special events on site.

Much more difficult for us is now to inform you that we have to cancel the upcoming festival gigs at the Hellsinki Metal Festival in Finland and Bloodstock Open Air in the UK due to an acute laryngitis our singer Michael Kiske is suffering of.
