When it’s finally time for the European tour that’s been postponed twice due to the pandemic, costs have risen but not the fees for the band, so the tour looked to become a very expensive adventure. Thanks to one sponsor the band can travel in style in a nightliner with six fans joining them for two weeks across Europe.
CONCEPTION have based their coming back on crowdfunding, and their fanbase has proven to be dedicated and loyal. They have arranged camps with fans, and they have always sold out, as have numerous lunches and meet and greets. With the harsh reality of the economics after the pandemic, it looked like the band was facing a difficult financial balance for the tour, when a fan, who prefers to stay anonymous, offered to sponsor the bus.
-”We couldn’t believe our luck” singer Roy Khan says, and guitarist Tore Østby continues: -”Thanks to this we can both tour and invite fans to join us and share the touring experience!”
After two successful shows in their home town Gjøvik and Vorselaar, Belgium, the band really look forward to two weeks on the road.
