The organizer added the exact location for the event and ticket prices have yet to be set.
 
"We have chosen Manowar because they represent a worldwide standard for metal. they are a band that plays mainly for the fans and not for the money," said Dumitru Sohan of Kompas Events.
 
Founded in 1980, the band is famous for its lyrics drawing particularly on Norse mythology. The Manowar sound has been described over the years as "loud and bombastic", and bass player Joey DeMaio lamented in an interview that “bassist Joey DeMaio lamented that "these days, there’s a real lack of big, epic metal that is drenched with crushing guitars and choirs and orchestras.”
 
In 1984 Manowar made the Guinness Book of World Records for the loudest performance, a record they have tried to break several times since.
 
Although the band has never been a mainstream commercial success, it has a strong cult following – dedicated fans.
 
Manowar in 2007 launched "Gods of War", the first of a series of concept albums dedicated to different war gods from various mythologies. “Gods of War” is centered around Odin, King of Gods and primary god of war in the Norse myth.
