Helloween — São Paulo, 2026

Why this recording

Shot on a smartphone from the crowd, with no tripod according to its author, this two-hour-plus video captures the final date of the 40th anniversary tour on September 19, 2026, in a sold-out hall. The chapters flag several unusual moments: an acoustic cover of the Beatles' "Yesterday" (1:17:50), then "A Tale That Wasn't Right", which starts acoustic before the full band comes in. In the encore, "Happy Birthday to You" (2:04:30) comes right before "Dr. Stein". "The King for a 1000 Years" is played in an abridged version.

This filmed live concert documents Helloween at the Suhai Music Hall in São Paulo on 19 September 2026, during the 40 Years Anniversary Tour marking four decades of the band. On stage, the Pumpkins United line-up reunites the three iconic singers — Michael Kiske, Andi Deris and Kai Hansen — alongside Michael Weikath and Sascha Gerstner on guitars, Markus Grosskopf on bass and Dani Löble on drums. The tour supports the album Giants & Monsters (2025). This full concert unearths rarities and classics of German power metal: March of Time, Future World, I Want Out, Eagle Fly Free, Dr. Stein, Halloween and Keeper of the Seven Keys. The capture, one of the tour’s final dates, delivers the melodic energy and soaring vocals that built the Hamburg band’s legend. A complete live concert ideal for fans of melodic metal, it shows Helloween’s vitality in 2026, four decades after their debut, before a Brazilian crowd famed for its fervour.
