German power metallers HELLOWEEN will be rejoined by vocalist Michael Kiske and guitarist Kai Hansen for a world tour in 2017 and 2018.

Dubbed 'Pumpkins United', the trek will feature seven musicians — including current singer Andi Deris and guitarist Sascha Gerstner - performing material spanning HELLOWEEN's entire three-decade-plus history.

'Pumpkins United' touring lineup:
 
Michael Kiske - Vocals
Kai Hansen - Guitar
Michael Weikath – Guitar
Markus Grosskopf - Bass
Andi Deris - Vocals
Sascha Gerstner - Guitar
Daniel Löble - Drums
 
The super-tour's first confirmed date is October 28, 2017 in Sao Paulo, Brazil and takes the full 'Pumpkins' entourage across selected cities and venues in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the U.S. An extremely big deal, which, including a few secret surprises, will present almost three hours of the biggest hits from three decades of HELLOWEEN as the band will obviously insist on performing a full-speed trip through the HELLOWEEN repertoire.
