Europe was formed in Stockholm in 1983 and has been one of rock's most enduring names, with the classic lineup – Joey Tempest, John Norum, Mic Michaeli, John Levén and Ian Haugland – as the core of the band's identity for over 40 years. Not many other bands within the genre have managed to maintain such a stable lineup of tight-knit musicians.

They achieved global success with the multi-platinum album "The Final Countdown" and have sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. Europe has experienced it all. They have continued to move forward. Never stood still – and yet they rise again.
