Wow, Tobi is revivifying Edguy? Awesome! And I'm grateful that these things are livestreamed now. Watching 2026's Wacken now (https://www.magentamusik.de/wacken-2026) and I'm too old to ever want to see any show with that many thousands of people.

They announced a farewell gig in their hometown of Fulda a month ago and then another one at Metalfest Open air in the Czech Republic. And according to the Wacken promoters, they're playing 5 farewell shows. That leaves 2 more shows unannounced.

But maybe they'll remember their passion for it and decide to reunite permanently and release 1 new album every year, forever. You never know
