Metallica has announced that Epica will replace Five Finger Death Punch in Paris, France on May 17 and May 28 in Hamburg, Germany.
5FDP has already had to cancel two shows last month with Metallica due to the hernia surgery of singer Ivan Moody, who is still recovering.
Metallica said: “Fresh off their successful Epic Apocalypse tour, @Epica will be stepping in for @FFDP on the #M72 World Tour on Wednesday in Paris and Sunday, May 28, in Hamburg. We’re excited that they can join the ride.”
