๐The DVD/BLU-RAY nails the tour with recordings from Wacken in front of 75,000 metal heads and 14,000 fans in the Madrid arena โ and as a bonus, the show in the Espaรงo das Amรฉricas, gathering 8,000 in Sรฃo Paulo. Altogether it offers over three hours of live material in stereo and premium 5.1 surround sound, plus backstage material, tons of surprises, and a very personal band interview about the past, present, and future. The LIVE-CD/VINYL presents a whopping 2 hours 20 of pure audio material from the concert in Madrid plus four bonus tracks from the shows in Prague, Sรฃo Paulo, Wacken, and Santiago de Chile. โ There honestly was no way, we couldโve fit more on the discs.
Helloween Planning New Live Release For 2019, New Album To Follow In 2020
Helloween have announced that they will be releasing a new live CD/DVD/Blu-ray in early 2019. The effort will feature “the very best moments” from the band’s “Pumpkins United” tour, which sees former members Michael Kiskse and Kai Hansen performing alongside the band’s current lineup, Michael Weikath, Markus Grosskopf, Andi Deris, Sascha Gerstner, and Dani Lรถble. Furthermore, the group are also planning to release a new album with Kiske and Hansen in 2020.
The band posted the following:
“UNBEATABLE! ๐ฅ
Among the massive PUMPKINS UNITED WORLD TOURโs absolute open air highlights were, of course, the headliner slots at Wacken, Barcelonaโs Rock Fest and Masters of Rock โ but also the mega gigs with Iron Maiden at Sweden Rock Festival and Florenceโs Firenze Rocks in June definitely were shows for all eternity.
For those, who mysteriously missed the tour, goosebumps footage of the PUMPKINS UNITED WORLD TOUR, will be released as a live CD as well as on DVD and Blu-ray beginning of 2019!!! As of now, the wait until the release can be shortened with a stream of the full Wacken show at Magenta Music 360 right here:

BUT HERE IT COMES!
As we are still indulging in the Wacken encore or preparing for the show in Las Vegas/ USA, those maniacs are already launching the next sensation: For starters, Nuclear Blast has insisted to keep the band on their roster for a few more years, and โ double bass drum roll โ thereโll actually be a brand-new STUDIO ALBUM with KISKE AND HANSEN. When the band around songwriting trio Weikath, Hansen and Deris will be retreating to the studio together with these two exceptional singers in 2019, itโs clear that the album scheduled for 2020 will be no less than EPIC. If this news doesnโt make you go all dewy, your proper rock baptism might not have happened yet โ the rest of us are way over the moon as of now, because:
THE PUMPKINS UNITED DREAM CONTINUES!
Thanks to everyone who has been with us until now!

Helloween have announced that they will be joined by former members Michael Kiskse and Kai Hansen on their 2017-2018 world tour, which they are calling โPumpkins United.โ They will perform with the band’s current lineup, Michael Weikath, Markus Grosskopf, Andi Deris, Sascha Gerstner, and Dani Lรถble, who are planning three hour sets composed of tracks spanning their entire career. So far the group have been booked for one show on October 28, 2017 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but there will be more shows added in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the U.S. as well.
Grosskopf said the following:
“Thereโll for sure be songs that we havenโt played in a very long time or even ever before. Whoever doesnโt secure tickets for this tour probably doesnโt have all their pumpkins in a row,โ
Deris added:
โIโm so much looking forward to playing Michiโs and my tunes together with him live onstage. Itโs going to be absolutely exceptional.โ
