Epica is back with shows in Israel, Turkey and Austria

Epica is back for the festival season after the Mexican tour last month. The band played shows at Barby Club (Israel), KüçükÇiftlik Park (Turkey) and Novarock (Austria). The setlists were the same (except Kingdom of Heaven Pt. 3, Cry for the Moon and Omega weren’t played at Novarock due to the shorter time on stage) and Simone wore her iconic Ωmega Alive outfit.

At Novarock, Simone and Mark met Måneskin and took some photos with the band ! How cool is that ? You can find them here.

Epica ends biggest Mexican tour yet with shows in Monterrey, Guadalajara, Puebla, Querétaro, San Luis Potosi and León

It’s a wrap ! After six more incredible shows, Epica ended the biggest Mexican tour in the band’s history. While Monterrey had a different setlist, Guadalajara, Puebla, Querétaro and San Luis Potosi had the same with Consign to Oblivion at the end (~~I still don’t know about León, if you can help me with the setlist please message me !~~ edit : I found and added the setlist).

In Monterrey and San Luis Potosi, Simone wore the lovely dress from Toluca again. In León, she wore the outfit from Ωmega Alive, Area 53, Yunak Stadium, 3-Majówkę and Mexico City. In Puebla, she wore the same skirt but with a semi-transparent top. In Guadalajara and Querétaro, she used the same skirt again but with a polka dot top (Seems familiar ? It’s the one she used here for the Epica beer photoshoot !).

Now, the band members are back in Europe (except for Mark who’s still in Mexico) and are getting some rest before the next show in Israel on June, 7th 2022. Unfortunately, Simone and her son Vincent are both sick with Covid, so we hope they’ll get well soon !

Thanks to Epica for such an incredible tour, Jens de Vos for sharing so much content, and to all the fans who shared their pictures and videos !

Epica plays two more shows in Toluca and Mexico City

The first third of the Mexico tour is done ! The setlist in Toluca was the same as in Chihuahua, except the band played Victims of Contingency. In Mexico City, the order of the songs was changed and for the first time in 2022, the last song was Consign to Oblivion (instead of Design Your Universe). For the show in Toluca, Simone wore a lovely new black dress (I really love the sleeves) and for the show in Mexico, she wore her famous outfit from Ωmega Alive, Area 53, Yunak Stadium and 3-Majówkę. Jens de Vos (Panda Productions director) is travelling with the band and shares lots of pictures, photoshoots and videos on his instagram account, so be sure to follow him !
