Forget the classic mid to late 80s stuff, which still sounds great, these guys are pumping new hard rock riffs that sound harder than you think from this band. "War of Kings" and "Nothin' to Ya" are great new songs! They play everything from Wings of Tomorrow to today. I highly recommend seeing them perform and their look and sound is absolutely incredible like it were still 1980 somethin'

This five-man band rocks! Joey, John L., Ian, Mic & John N. put together a tight set - new and old material; nice mix. Glad to see them in the States again. Hopefully they won't wait so long to come back in SoCal.

For fans who have not seen or heard them since the 80s...you are missing out! The band is better than ever! War of Kings is their 10th album...listen to them all and be prepared to hear them progress into the ultimate heavy metal rock band!

I loved the venue, intimate and beautiful. Totally Art Deco. The group was incredible, they sounded amazing. The sound and lighting were great. They went on exactly as scheduled and played for almost two hours, no opening act. They didn't need one either. The songs were great and they played just like they did back in the 80's. Joey Tempest still has a fabulous voice, he even puts younger singers to shame. I would go see them again in a minute!

I've been a Europe's fan for 30 years. I attend to one of their concerts in Madrid 27 years ago and they were awesome. And they continue being awesome. I love the way the have evolved during all these years and how they demonstrate on stage the good musicians they are. I hope I will see them again soon!

It's been 12 years since Europe's been in Chicago and it was way too long to wait. They put on a great show alternating with hits from their latest release War of Kings and oldies from Out of This World and their other older releases. Several people in the crowd received tickets for free and were just there to check things out and I'm glad to say that they were blown away. The band sounded great and Joey Tempest hasn't lost his vocal abilities or swagger -- he is a seasoned front man. I think he summed it up best when he said, "Rock and Roll isn't dead, it's just been on vacation". This tour is a definite must see if they come to your town.

AMAZING!!!!! I have LOVED this band since I was 13yrs old. Waited 27yrs to see them again. Joey's voice is still beautiful! John Norum is a guitar god! I would never be able to put into words how awesome this concert was! It was a small venue & you felt like an old friend. My 39yr old sis has never been to a concert & LOVED it so much that we decided to go see them again as soon as they add more dates to US or Canada.

This such an amazing concert. Now we can scratch Europe from our bucket list but would love to see them again. Joey Tempest has become such an entertainer and he seemed to have enjoyed the concert as much if not more than the crowd. He looked like he truly enjoyed what he was doing and it reflected on the show performed. Truly amazing experience.

I have been a fan of their work for decades, and they don't stop to amaze! The performance was absolutely amazing! They have rocked the crowd from the very first note to the last. The vocals are clean, powerful and unique. The music touches every right spot in your body to make it dance along with the beat and riffs. It's been a grand experience! I wish they would come to the US every year and book a slightly larger venue to allow for more space and more fans! Also, the first support band, The Blackfires, was amazing. The singer is unbelievably talented and has an amazing vocal range. I would like to see that band more!

Europe can still rock with the best of them. Joey Tempest is an amazing performer and totally gets into the show by going out into the crowd. It was a great show and would totally go see them again.

I live in MI so I had to drive 2.5 hrs each way to see the show...it was worth every second! Overall the band was super tight and the setlist was awesome! I'm a huge fan of 80s hard rock and have seen almost every group from that era touring today. I can honestly say Joey Tempest hadn't lost a step...great performer and his voice is still amazing! Then throw in John Norum who is super a super underrated guitarist...and he absolutely shredded! I've been to almost 300 shows/concerts and I'd easily put this show in my top 10!

I haven't seen them live since the Final Countdown tour back in the 80's. I was very impressed by their performance. A good variety of both old and new songs. It was well worth the drive from Lansing, MI.

I waited 27 years to see this band again and was not disappointed. They sounded outstanding. Joey Tempest even came into the crowd to greet the fans. You can tell they gave it 100%.

Great little venue, made the show feel personal. Lead singer, Joey Tempest, came out into the crowd to do high fives, hugs and shake hands. There were not very many people on hand, but the band played like they had a crowd of 100,000...not just 300.

We had VIP tickets for meet and greet and had the chance to meet the band. They are great! Joey is a really nice guy and have an energy of 20 year old. The show was really good, they sound good and the old songs are still rocking. The newer material is less known but sounds great. Recommended!!!

What an evening! We came from Florida to Beverly Hills for Europe and was not disappointed. We had front row center seats and could touch the stage and these guys love to Rock, Perform with such great passion and energy and get up close to their fans. The meet and greet was Awesome- these guys are so down to earth , friendly - I feel they would come over to my house, build an outdoor bonfire in my back yard , drink Demon Head beer and talk and sing of good times till it got real late - just like Friends!!

For decades, the rock & roll band known as Europe has created some of the best music of its genre. And, on 1/20/2016 they delivered the goods once again at The Grove in Anaheim, CA. From their opening notes, lead singer Joey Tempest was on his mark with powerful & emotional vocals, showing us all what a great frontman he really is! Meanwhile, guitar virtuoso John Norum & the rest of his talented bandmates provided solid musical structures on all of their hits plus several new tunes off of their latest effort: "War of Kings"...all good stuff! As a true fan of Europe, I was delighted to finally see them in concert again! The sound was good, the performance was excellent, and the overall experience was truly wonderful!!

The band played for over an hour. Played some new stuff off their new album, War of Kings, and of course, some of the classics. Audience was completely into everything they played. They interacted with the audience, which not all acts do.

90 minutes of pure EUROPE excitement! Great set list spanning their entire career. Heavy on the 1986 Final Countdown & the 1988 Out of This World albums. The classic lineup was at their best. Joey could sing the phonebook and make it sound great! A night to remember for all who attended this incredible show. Thank you Europe for Letting the Good Times Rock the Night.

Europe did a fantastic job of covering both their older material ( i.e. - "Carrie", "Superstitious", "The Final Countdown" ) as well as their more recent work ( "War Of Kings", "Last Look At Eden" ) into a great 90+ minute show which inclued Joey Tempest walking around in the audience and shaking hands with a number of people, including my son and myself. At the end of the show, which was opened with the Black Star Riders, I asked my 17 year old what he thought and he was impressed, as was I. In a word: exceptional !

This was my first time seeing Europe in concert and the 30 plus years was worth the wait. They played with the energy and enthusiasm like they were playing for a crowd of 100,000 and you wouldn't know they were over 50. I wished the concert didn't have to end and hopefully they won't take so long to come back to the U.S.

I loved seeing Europe for the first time band was great as expected! I couldn't stand the opening act though I have 0 intentions of see the opening act again, Atlanta has some phenomenal original bands to offer and the opening act chosen didn't do Europe justice, they claimed to be an original band and did all of 2 original songs the rest of the set was cover songs. I wouldn't mind one or two cover songs but if I wanna see cover bands there are tons of great cover bands here in Atlanta to see. I think Europe was fantastic the opening act not so much. Thank you to Europe for saving the night and rocking us right \\_/

The concert was fantastic. The musicianship of this band is out of this world. For those that believe this band is just the final countdown you are sadly mistaken. Joey Tempest is one of the finest frontman I have ever seen. The guitar player is just a wow he takes the best of Gary Moore, Michael Schenker and Ritchie Blackmore and blends them into his sound. The rhythm section of John Leven, Mic Michali, and Ian Highland were very tight. They are a world class band with a big sound. If you enjoy bombastic music, melodic, progressive, bluesy, fist pumping hard rock this is the show to see. I hope they come back to the states in the future

I've been waiting to see Europe in concert for years, and they did not disappoint. Lead singer Joey may be older, but he still has the vocal chops. He might not be able to hit every high note, but you can hardly notice with his stage presence.

This was my first Europe concert, I've lost track after Y2K when they reunite again for a special show... The band proves to be on Top of The Game, even playing a bunch of new songs which sounds amazing and heavy, definitely not Pop Metal, also mixing with some classics. Joe Tempest gave an energetic and an excellent "in tune" voice performance regardless his 50+ years. The rest of the band didn't aged and also were strong as back up band.

The wait until they started the actual opening act was too long. I don't know why they put 7pm on the tickets and the opening band didn't play until 2 hrs after. Europe didn't go on until 10 pm. More than 3 hours standing on the arena is not an easy thing, especially if you're from the 80's generation. But, it was worth the wait to see them for the first time ever. I'm a fan and they play every single song I like from back then and love the new songs they played from this tour's album. I really think after so many years, they still perform well and rock the night!!!

The House of Blues has had some great concerts and this one was no different. Our group had a great time and enjoyed the performance. These guys are true rock and rollers and gave an outstanding performance. I recommend checking out the House of Blues for other concerts, they have numerous tribute bands that are usually very good as well.
