Today, Rock meets Classic announces the headliner of the farewell tour: Joey Tempest from EUROPE and their uber-hit ‘The Final Countdown’ - it couldn't be more fitting for the big farewell.
Tempest, one of the best active classic rock singers in the world, has - in addition to ‘The Final Countdown’ - several other Europe hits in store for the RmC audience: ‘Carrie’, “Superstitious”, ‘Rock The Night’ and many more. The selection of mega-songs is huge.
Speaking of hits: Robert Hart, the singer of Manfred Man's Earth Band, is also bringing plenty of them with him. Hertlein hired Hart again for 2026. The reason: "Robert is a super guy, he's already got the RmC audience on the edge of their seats twice. I can also imagine him as an emcee who leads through the RmC programme."
Five of the six performers who will join the RmC band and the RmC Symphony Orchestra on stage for the 2026 Rock meets Classic farewell tour have already been confirmed. In addition to headliner Joey Tempest and Robert Hart, these are
Tarja Turunen, the icon of symphonic rock and former Nightwish singer.
Exceptional guitarist Michael Schenker (formerly of Scorpions & UFO).
Ronnie Atkins, the lead singer of the Danish hard rock band Pretty Maids.
