UPDATE: Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Skeletonwitch announce fall tour

Posted by on May 28, 2014

Amon-Amarth-1

It’s almost June, which means the summer touring season is almost upon us. But just because we’re about to dive into a cavalcade of touring festival and whatnot doesn’t mean we can’t think about the future. And the future, in this case, comes in the form of the latest fall tour rumor. Dates found on Ticketmaster suggested that Amon Amarth will be going on a U.S. tour this fall with Sabaton and Skeletonwitch.

Should this prove to be true, UPDATE: shortly after rumors hit the web, Amon Amarth officially announced they were touring with Sabaton and Skeletonwitch (with Vallenfyre playing the NYC date in place of Skeletonwitch). Not only will it be another chance for fans to catch Amon Amarth and Skeletonwitch on this same bill (they toured together early this year), but potentially another chance to witness Amon Amarth on a boat. Also, Sabaton should beware of what happened to Arve “Ice Dale” Isdal from Enslaved when they toured with the two bands earlier this year.
