Are Sabaton touring the UK in 2027?

Yes, Sabaton are touring the UK in 2027, with two arena nights in April. Sabaton are a Swedish heavy metal band of five, founded in 1999 in Falun. OVO Hydro calls them storytellers with “a penchant for military history”, so their songs retell real battles and wars.

This run is The Legendary Tour, Part 2. The first part played Europe in 2025, and Sabaton say it was one of the biggest arena tours that year, with more than 20 trucks and 200 crew.

There is no London date on the band’s tour page. So if you live in England or Wales, Birmingham is your show.

What are the Sabaton tour 2027 dates in the UK?

What is The Legendary Tour show like?

The Legendary Tour is a heavy metal show with an orchestra, and Sabaton promise “tons of explosives, epic storytelling and very loud heavy metal”. The Legendary Orchestra is a project developed by the band, and OVO Hydro bills it as special guests performing Sabaton.

Three guest stars join them: Noa Gruman, Tina Guo and Mia Asano. If you saw the 2025 run, the band say to expect new surprises and twists. New music is on the way too, with a single, “Berserker”, due on 6 November 2026.

How long is a Sabaton concert? Neither arena gives a running time. Birmingham gives doors at 6pm and a 7pm start. What is the Sabaton tour 2027 setlist? The band have not published one.

How do you buy Sabaton tickets?

You buy Sabaton tickets from the seller linked on each venue’s page: Ticketmaster for Glasgow and AXS for Birmingham. General sale, which is open to everyone, began on Wednesday 10 June 2026. So you need no code for a presale, the early sale for smaller groups.

1. Choose your city and check the age rules below first.
2. Open the venue’s event page. OVO Hydro’s Buy Tickets button goes to Ticketmaster. The Get tickets button at bp pulse LIVE goes to AXS.
3. Pick standing or a seat. Standing means a place on the arena floor with no fixed spot.
4. Check the total before you pay, with any charges added.
5. Download the seller’s app. OVO Hydro tickets sit in your Ticketmaster account, on your phone.

The band’s own tour page also links to MyTicket, a UK ticket site, and Ticketmaster lists Birmingham as well. If one site has no seats you like, look at the others.

How much are Sabaton tickets?

Sabaton tickets start at £70.80 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, according to the arena’s page on 31 October 2026. That includes the admin fee, a booking charge. Fulfilment, the delivery charge, is added on top. bp pulse LIVE prints no price, so AXS shows the Birmingham figure when you book.

What do Sabaton VIP packages include?

Sabaton VIP packages are the band’s own extras, sold separately from the arenas through the VIP link beside each date. Each one is a ticket with special access. SUPER, the band’s VIP partner, lists four for Europe and the UK:

• Legendary Shield: a premium seat, a backstage tour and a signed, full-size tour shield.
• Legends Storyteller Premium Seating: a premium seat, a backstage tour and a goodie bag with a signed tour book.
• Legends Storyteller Golden Circle: early entry to the Golden Circle, a separate standing area, plus the tour and goodie bag.
• Heroes Early Entry GA: a standing ticket with early entry to the floor, plus the goodie bag.

These suit devoted fans who want the backstage tour. They are not worth it for a first gig, because a standard ticket gets you the same concert. Under-18s on a package must be with an adult. All sales are final, and you must bring photo ID matching the buyer’s name.

Should you choose Sabaton in Glasgow or Birmingham?

Choose Sabaton in Glasgow if you live in Scotland or want to know the price before you book. Choose Birmingham if you are in England or Wales, if you want a stated start time, or if you are bringing a 14- or 15-year-old to stand.

• Coming from abroad? Birmingham is handy by air, because a free Air-Rail Link joins the airport to Birmingham International station.
• Coming from Ireland? Dublin’s 3Arena is the home show, sold by Ticketmaster Ireland.
• Going with friends? Transfer OVO Hydro tickets to each person’s phone, so you can arrive separately.

Can under-16s go to Sabaton concerts?

Under-16s can go to Sabaton concerts in seats at both arenas, but the standing rules differ, so read this before you choose a ticket.

Disabled fans: at OVO Hydro, book accessible seats online or call 0141 576 3230, Monday to Friday, 9am to 2pm. At bp pulse LIVE, choose the Accessible Tickets tile on the booking page.

How do you get to the Sabaton venues?

You get to both Sabaton venues most easily by train, as each has a station beside it.

Driving to Birmingham? Pre-book NEC parking, and use postcode B40 1NT. bp pulse LIVE says to check your event page nearer the date for travel updates, and it does not allow outside food and drink.

On the night: aim to arrive when doors open at 6pm. OVO Hydro suggests allowing an extra hour for security checks. Both arenas use walk-through screening, so have your ticket ready on your phone. Want to stand at the front? OVO Hydro says queueing early will not win you that spot, and overnight queueing is banned.

What Sabaton ticket mistakes should you avoid?

Sabaton ticket mistakes are easy to avoid if you check the venue, the age rule and the upgrade before you pay:

• Going to the wrong venue. bp pulse LIVE is at the NEC, not in the city centre.
• Buying standing for a young teenager. A 15-year-old cannot stand in Glasgow.
• Mixing up upgrades. Venue Premium and the band’s VIP packages are separate things.
• Leaving your ID at home. VIP guests without matching photo ID are turned away.
• Bringing a rucksack. Neither arena allows one.

What if a Sabaton show sells out?

If a Sabaton show sells out, try the seller’s own resale first, where fans sell tickets they cannot use. After that, the other UK night is your next option. The concert tickets guide explains how resale works and what to compare before paying.

What to do now (as of 31 October 2026)

As of 31 October 2026, the Sabaton shows in Glasgow and Birmingham are both on sale, with no sold-out date in the UK.

1. Pick your city, and match your ticket to the age rule.
2. Buy from the venue’s page, then get the seller’s app.
3. Comparing upgrades? Read Venue Premium and the VIP packages side by side.
4. Check back in April, since OVO Hydro posts its timings only 2-3 days ahead.
