Epica and local artists offer original art at concerts!

Epica fans all over North America are being treated to original art being created by local artists in each city. In an effort to provide fans something special this tour, in addition to regular concert merchandise, Epica has invited local artists to bring something made specially for the Epica concert.

Artists in cities all along the tour have made paintings, drawings and fascinating prints. Its been a great experience for everyone involved. Artists have enjoyed creating something inspired by Epica's music and fans are enjoying something a little different, made by a local artist.

"So many things are mass produced and shipped all over the world. We like this idea because it involves local artists, offers fans something truley unique and exposes them to a different art form."

Be sure to check out the local art at the next show!

Epica wishes us a happy new year

I'm so excited, omfggg.
Gosia, you can stay at my place if you can afford the trip, ofcourse. All of you can, but the first one who sends me a PM will be the lucky winner.

Aww thank you so much Eline. Unfortunately I don't have money for the trip. Not even for a ticket... Maybe next year I'll visit Holland to see Epica. Then I'll remember your offer. Thank you dear.

And I hope for detailed report from Paradiso.

You can expect a detailed review after my finalexams.
