SOLD OUT IN KRAKOW!
Sat, 25 Oct 2008 18:02:58 +0200
Yesterday was one of the best nights in Sabaton history. the fans in
Krakow was so loud that the PA in this big venue was not enough.

Almost one year ago we were in the same venue with Therion & Grave
Digger. At that time the PA was enough, but when Sabaton came as
headliner the Polish fans were simply too loud.

It was incredible.
