SAVATAGE are set to host a signing session at the EMP Store in Leipzig on 12 August 2026, ahead of their headline concert at the Parkbühne. The event is part of the band’s ‚Prelude to Madness‘ European summer tour and will feature an exclusive album bundle available for the first time at this fan event.SAVATAGE are bringing their ‚Prelude to Madness‘ tour closer to fans with a special signing session at the EMP Store Leipzig on 12 August 2026, running from 16:30 to 17:30, just hours before their headline show at the Parkbühne. The event is organised in partnership with EMP Exclusive Merchandise Products and promises a memorable pre-concert experience for the band’s dedicated fanbase.
Band members Zak Stevens, Al Pitrelli, Chris Caffery, Johnny Lee Middleton and Jeff Plate will be on hand to meet fans, pose for photos and sign items from personal CD and vinyl collections. As an additional incentive, attendees will have the first opportunity to purchase an exclusive EMP album bundle, which will not be available elsewhere at launch.
The signing session comes on the back of a highly successful run of early tour dates, including appearances at Sweden Rock Festival in Stockholm and Heavy Week-End in France. SAVATAGE originally staged a celebrated reunion at Wacken Open Air in 2015, drawing 80,000 fans, and have since built considerable momentum heading into their extensive 2026 European schedule.
The Leipzig date is also notable as the first time SAVATAGE will perform in the city, adding further significance to the fan event. Given the expected high demand, organisers are advising fans to arrive well ahead of the start time, as the one-hour session cannot be extended due to the band’s concert commitments later that evening. Entry will be managed on a strict first-come, first-served basis.
Further SAVATAGE merchandise and additional album configurations are available via EMP.de. Tickets for all tour dates can be found at savatage.com/tour.
