In 25 years, AVANTASIA has become one of the key players in the German rock and metal scene. Imagined by Tobias Sammet (Edguy), a multi-talented master builder, this “opera” simply redefined the foundations of theatrical symphonic metal, with choruses that were as mesmerizing as they were grandiose, describing a multitude of intriguing soundscapes.

AVANTASIA is also an impressive “success story” based on 10 studio albums (including “Moonglow” ranked No. 1 in Germany in 2019), synonymous with numerous gold records, hundreds of millions of streams and top concerts Sold Out around the world (including an Olympia in Paris in March 2025 for the release of “Here Be Dragons”) or appearances at the biggest festivals on the planet.

On record as on stage, Tobias Sammet always knows how to surround himself with an “All Star Line-Up” guaranteeing superb guitar duels and captivating vocal jousts. For a concert at the Heavy Week-End, the Nancy Open Air will therefore become the theater of dreams ofAVANTASIA.
