The expanded line-up of Helloween, which reunited with singer Michael Kiske and guitarist Kai Hansen in 2016 has announced details of plans for a new studio album, as well as final dates for their 'Pumpkins United' world tour. The last shows of the incredibly successful run which included a show in London in 2017, will take in both US and European dates.  

In a statement released today, the band announced that the tour is by no means over, and dates in the US and Canada are next on the schedule. There will also be, due to the tremendous demand, additional dates in Latin America to follow: And as first class support, no other than Kreator and Arch Enemy will be firing up the stages for the Pumpkins! Final shows with the full seven-member cast will take place at the end of 2018 with a right royal farewell blast: In Hamburg, right where all the madness started in 1984,  'Pumpkins United' will burn down the house with the tour’s last show in the legendary Sporthalle on December 22nd.
 
Ahead of a new studio album, there will be a live CD as well as on DVD and Blu-ray from the 'Pumpkins United' tour released at the beginning of 2019. The brand-new studio album - the first with Kiske since 1993's 'Chameleon' and Hansen since 1988's 'Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II' - will see the band’s songwriting trio of founder Michael Weikath, Hansen and long time vocalist Andi Deris retreating to the studio together in 2019, for a 2020 release.
