April 19, 2025: Sao Paulo, Brazil, Monsters Of Rock festival, after 10 years of absence, SAVATAGE was finally back on stage alongside Scorpions and Judas Priest. A few weeks later, the band arrived in Europe for a series of enchanting concerts, especially at Hellfest.

Formed in the early 80s in Florida, SAVATAGE gradually evolved into a true force in the nature of the heavy metal scene, going from being a “simple” hard rock band to that of creator of colossal works, arranging their albums like great classical music composers. Impressive in terms of power and precision, rich in lyrics, their songs are often conducive to great lyrical flights where instrumental breaks are combined with sublime choruses. A moving musical eloquence that musicians know how to perfectly transcribe on stage through performances that command respect.

In 2026, SAVATAGE confirms their return with a unique date in France at the Heavy Week-End, preceding the release of “Madness Reigns From The Gutter”, a new live (1990) capturing the group at the top on the tour that followed “Gutter Ballet”. A rare moment in our country, a must for anyone who dreamed of being able to enter “In the Hall of the Mountain King! ”
