Band said in a statement: “Manowarriors! Let it be known that we will unleash our brand-new studio album upon the world in early 2025.

During this tour, we will be playing two unique setlists. On alternating nights, we will perform the entire ‘Hail To England’ and the ‘Sign Of The Hammer’ albums, respectively. Each evening will also showcase fan favorites from our entire career!
