Long running Swedish metaler, Talisman has issued the following message:

Swedish based melodic rock band Talisman is taking to the road across Europe for one last time to give the many fans who bought 7 the opportunity to hear the band live.

This classic line-up represents one of the best hard rock bands in the business and it will, most likely, be the last opportunity for fans to see a live Talisman show before the final curtain descends.

Originally slated for October 2006, the tour was postponed due to Jeff Scott Soto being drafted in to cover for Steve Augeri on Journey recent US tour and April 2007 will follow on from the Journey dates recently released for the UK and mainland Europe.

Talisman will hit eight countries on a whirlwind tour comprising 14 dates plus a couple of warm-up gigs in Sweden. The final schedule is still awaiting detailed confirmation of all the venues.
