'Apocalyptica Tickets'

'

In 19993, Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Max Lilja, and Antero Manninen started a metal cover band. They were all Finnish cellists who had met at school. While fans enjoy Apocalyptica's instrumental music, the group's most popular songs often feature vocalists such as

Corey Taylor of Slipknot

(I'm Not Jesus) and

Adam Gontier

, formerly of

Three Days Grace

(I Don't Care). Working with mainstream musicians helped Apocalyptica garner some of the spotlight, but it was their talent that kept the band there and proved that symphonies and metal are the perfect pair. Their sound makes them popular at festivals such as Rock in Rio.

'More Than Metallica Now'

'

Apocalyptica may have been covering metal in a classical style before anyone else attempted it. The group's first album,

Plays Metallica by Four Cellos

, consisted solely of

Metallica

cover songs. By their third album, the band was releasing mostly original music. While Apocalyptica has gone on to achieve worldwide success and sell over 4 million albums, the band's reach was initially small. Their first album only charted in Finland, and tours remained in Europe. However, each subsequent album charted in an additional country until the fifth,

Worlds Collide

in 2008, landed on the

Billboard

200 in the United States, thanks to the contributions of Taylor, Gontier and others.

'Is Apocalyptica touring in 2019?'

'The symphonic metal band is currently in the middle of their Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos tour in addition to summer festivals. These world stops will take them to modern festivals (Rock Heart) and classic venues (Sydney Opera Hall) as well as arenas. Earlier this year, Apocalyptica made several stops on an American leg of the Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos tour. After this tour ends, Apocalyptica will join Sabaton for The Great Tour in late 2019 and through 2020.'

'Will Apocalyptica play near my city this year?'

'Fans outside the United States will have plenty of chances to see Apocalyptica before the year is out. They'll play at Sisäsatama in Vaasa in their home country before stopping by France, Sweden and Slovakia. After leaving Europe, Apocalyptica is scheduled to appear in Tokyo, Japan; Istanbul, Turkey; Bucharest, Romania; and Athens, Greece. Australian fans are especially lucky because the band has three stops in that country: The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, Sydney Opera Hall in Sydney, and Hamer Hall in Melbourne. European fans who missed Apocalyptica during their solo tour will have a chance to see them when they return to the continent in 2020 with Sabaton and Amaranthe.'

'Who are the members of Apocalyptica?'

'Current members of the band are Eicca Toppinen (rhythm cello, keyboards), Paavo Lötjönen (bass cello), Perttu Kivilaakso (lead cello), Mikko Sirén (drums), Franky Perez (vocals), and Lauri Kankkunen (lead/rhythm cello).'

'What are Apocalyptica's most popular songs?'

'

These songs did well: I'm Not Jesus (featuring Corey Taylor of

Slipknot

), I Don't Care(featuring Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace), and End of Me (featuring Gavin Rossdale of

Bush

). Apocalyptica also achieved success in Europe with Bittersweet (featuring Ville Valo of

HIM

and Lauri Ylönen of

The Rasmus

), Path Vol. 2 (featuring Sandra Nasi?), and Seemann (featuring German singer Nina Hagen).

'What is an Apocalyptica set list like?'
