Europe in the studio L-R John Levén, John Norum, Joey Tempest, Klas Åhlund (Producer), Mic Michaeli, Ian Haugland

The band are currently in Atlantis Studios in Stockholm with producer Klas Åhlund (Ghost, Robyn) working on a new song entitled “HOLD YOUR HEAD UP”, a punchy up tempo rocker with reminiscent elements of early Europe, which will be released as a single on September 15th this year.

The song will be mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein, Def Leppard) who also mixed  Europe’s ‘Secret Society’ album.

Joey Tempest: “We’ve been back on the road for a while but it’s such a pleasure to be back in the studio again –  together with such a gentleman and professional like Klas. It’s sounding extraordinary”.

The song is a pre-curser to recording a new album in 2024, the bands 12th studio record. Set for release late 2024 / early 2025.

The film will tell the story of the band, from formation until present day, telling of their rise to success in the mid 80s, through hard times and heartache to coming back in the millennium and the current successes the band has achieved. This is set for release in early 2024.
