Europe drop ‘Come This Madness’ title track ahead of album launch

Europe have shared the title track from their forthcoming studio album Come This Madness, which is due for release on September 25 via Silver Lining Music.

‘Come This Madness’ arrives with a video montage featuring footage of the band on the road and behind the scenes during their 2026 album campaign. The track follows previously released singles ‘The Cult of Ignorance’, ‘One on One’ and ‘Scandinavian Eyes’, whose videos were directed by Patric Ullaeus.

Speaking about the new record, founding member and frontman Joey Tempest said: “With Come This Madness, we wanted to write and produce songs in the spirit of the old days. There are plenty of soaring melodies and big choruses, and we worked hard on the production. We had a lot of fun in the studio making the album. There are strong connections to our past throughout the record and I think a lot of Europe fans are going to love it!”

Tempest also discussed some of the ideas behind the album, adding: “With this album, I think we’ve looked around at what’s happening in the world and tried to describe some of it through the songs. But at the end of the day, it’s still entertainment, it’s still music, and most importantly, it’s still about having fun!”

The album release comes shortly before Europe begin The Final Countdown 40th Anniversary Tour. The run starts at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on September 30, with further dates scheduled across Europe before shows in Japan in January 2027.

Several dates were already listed as sold out when the announcement was issued, including Wolverhampton, Paris, Stuttgart, Vienna, Berlin, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Oslo.

Come This Madness is released on September 25 via Silver Lining Music. Full tour dates and ticket information are available through Europe’s official website at https://www.europetheband.com.
