Europe: From âThe Final Countdownâ to nowâScandinaviaâs arena-rock icons.
Europe are a Swedish hard-rock band formed in Upplands VĂ€sby in 1979 by singer Joey Tempest and guitarist John Norum.
They broke through by winning the inaugural Rock-SM competition in 1982.
Their third album, The Final Countdown (1986), went triple-platinum in the U.S. and topped charts in 25 countries. It spawned arena staples like the title track, âRock the Night,â and power-ballad âCarrie,â which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Across eleven studio albums the band have sold over 60 million records, shaping â80s arena rock and glam metal.
After a 1992-2003 hiatus, Europe returned heavier; Walk the Earth (2017) won the 2018 Swedish Grammis for Best Hard Rock/Metal Album.
Today the reunited classic line-up continues to headline festivals worldwide with unmistakable Nordic swagger.
