When Swedish hard rockers Europe play the London 02 Shepherd's Bush Empire in two weeks, they will have a film crew tagging along. The show is being filmed for release on DVD and Blu-Ray in October along with a live CD.

The London concert is part of Europe's Balls 'N' Banners UK tour which kicks off at the Glasgow 02 ABC on Thursday February 17th. The forthcoming DVD release will also include behind-the-scenes footage, including rehearsals and backstage banter filmed during the rest of the dates on the rest of the UK tour. Europe will perform music from their current album Last Look At Eden, plus classic tracks from their albums Wings of Tomorrow, The Final Countdown, Out of This World, Prisoners in Paradise, Start From The Dark and Secret Society.

"We're taking some new directions with our songs, and we're exploring different styles," says Europe's lead singer Joey Tempest about the songs from the Eden album. "There is a definite classic rock vibe on some of the tracks... a tip of the hat to groovin', funkin' 70s rock songs, but ones we have bought into the here and now."
