In Headbanger's memory, few heavy metal bands are able to deliver concerts as rich as those of SABATON. A heavyweight in the current heavy metal scene, the Swedish quintet is enjoying unprecedented success around the world and particularly in France where it gave two exceptional concerts in Paris and Lyon at the end of 2025. We also remember that the Swedes headlined Hellfest in 2022 and will be back there this year. But before that, SABATON will headline the first night of the Heavy Weekend where the band will perform a show and a setlist different from their concerts given last year.
In twenty years and 11 studio albums, SABATON is distinguished by an artistic approach combining exceptional stage design and production with grandiose conceptual albums, linking real historical war events to classical heavy metal. A unique vision that the group has always taken care to transcribe brilliantly on stage. In concert as on record, SABATON is for fans of rock and history of all ages.
On his latest album “Legends”, SABATON has passionately looked at the journey of some of the most striking and fascinating characters in history, such as Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Julius Caesar or Genghis Khan. In the video for I, Emperor, SABATON pays tribute to Napoleon and remakes history, not without humor! See you at the Heavy Week-End for a performance that promises to be as exciting as it is captivating.
