About

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby in 1979, by lead vocalist Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. Named after the continent itself, they obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition Rock-SM (Swedish Rock Championships); it was the first time this competition was held.

Since their formation, Europe has released twelve studio albums, three live albums, three compilations and twenty-nine music videos. Europe's current lineup comprises Tempest, Norum, bassist John Levén, keyboardist Mic Michaeli, and drummer Ian Haugland.

Europe's first two albums, released in the early 1980s, performed moderately well, but only in their home country of Sweden. The group saw more international fame with the release of their third album, 1986's The Final Countdown. As of 2003, Europe had sold a total of 10 million albums worldwide. The band has had two top 20 albums on the US Billboard 200 chart (The Final Countdown and Out of This World) and two top 10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart; "The Final Countdown" (#8) and "Carrie" (#3). Another song, "Rock the Night", reached #30 on the US Hot 100.

Europe broke up in 1992, taking what was called an indefinite hiatus. However, the band reunited for a performance in Stockholm on New Year's Eve 1999. Four years later, in 2003, Europe announced an official reunion. Since then, the band has released seven albums: Start from the Dark (2004), Secret Society (2006), Last Look at Eden (2009), Bag of Bones (2012), War of Kings (2015), Walk the Earth (2017), and Come This Madness (2026).

Europe est un groupe suédois de Glam metal et de hard rock, originaire de Upplands Väsby, en Suède. Depuis sa formation en 1979, Europe compte onze albums studio, plusieurs albums live, ainsi que de nombreuses compilations de leurs meilleures chansons. Europe s'inspire de plusieurs groupes de hard rock comme Iron Maiden, Scorpions, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, UFO, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Thin Lizzy, Kiss...

Le groupe se fit connaître grâce à leur hit "The Final Countdown" mais aussi avec des chansons comme Carrie, Rock the Night ou encore Open Your Heart et Cherokee.

Après deux premiers albums ayant une signature plutôt heavy metal, qui rencontrent du succès en Scandinavie et au Japon au début des années 1980, Europe devient mondialement célèbre en 1986 avec son troisième album, The Final Countdown. Plus proche du hard rock mélodique et hard FM, rappelant des groupes comme Bon Jovi, cet album devient un succès considérable en se vendant à plus de 3 millions d'exemplaires aux États-Unis et à plus de 15 millions dans le monde.

Europe est l'un des groupes de hard rock les plus couronnés des années 1980 (tout comme Scorpions, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Van Halen ou bien Def Leppard), vendant plus de 25 millions de disques dans le monde. Aux États-Unis, le groupe atteint le Top 20 des albums dans le Billboard 200 avec deux albums (The Final Countdown et Out of This World) et le Top 10 des singles dans le Billboard Hot 100 grâce à deux titres (The Final Countdown et Carrie).

Le groupe décide de faire une pause en 1992, après la tournée pour l'album Prisoners in Paradise, chacun des membres voulant faire des albums solo ou mener à bien d'autres projets musicaux. Le groupe se réunit temporairement pour un concert unique à Stockholm pour le réveillon en 1999, avant d'annoncer une réunion officielle en 2003. Depuis, Europe continue à se produire en concert et a enregistré sept albums : Start from the Dark (2004), Secret Society (2006), Last Look at Eden (2009) Bag of Bones (2012), War of Kings (2015), Walk the Earth (2017) et Come This Madness (2026).
