And our new guitarist is….

We are beyond excited to announce that our former guitarist, Thobbe Englund, is rejoining the band and taking Tommy’s place!

Thobbe originally joined us in April 2012 and decided to leave Sabaton in July 2016 to focus on his personal life and expand his creativity. We, of course, respected his decision and we parted ways amicably. Since then, we have been in constant contact with him over the years - he’s a really good friend to all of us! Eight years later, he’s back and ready to hit the global stage with us once more and we couldn’t be happier about it!

Thobbe recorded two studio albums with us, namely “Heroes” (2014) and “The Last Stand” (2016), and assisted with the songwriting of some of our very popular songs including “Shiroyama” and “Fields Of Verdun”, among others.

As always thank you all for your unending support. It means the world to us. Here’s to a new era for Sabaton!

If he can play "never gonna give you up" live on a concert, he's more than welcome aboard.

[Sapphiens]

We'll miss you Tommygun... and Thobbe, It is an incredible pleasure to have you with us again. I can already hear ya singing metal triology.❤

[PinguPhD]

As a long time fan of sabaton from the carolus Rex album cycle on this gives me such joy!! I loved Thobbe

[SHDUStudios]

I’ll sincerely miss Tommy in the band but it’s amazing to have Thobbe back.

[TankTheTech]

Man, this is the best option for who could have replaced Tommy. It'll be familiar, yet new at the same time. LET'S GOOOO!

[Masada]

Thobbe is probably the best possible choice you guys could’ve made. Welcome back Thobbe.

[sid_the_flying_gun-nut]

As much as we'll miss Tommy, it's great to see Thobbe back

[lesliepaulkovacs]

So glad to hear that SOMETHING is going Right in 2024!

[GreenBison]

This is gonna be an exciting era of sabaton! Welcome back, Thobbe, and good luck to Tommy as he continues his own journey!

[JohnyAngelo]

I think this is a win-win situation. Tommy gets to do and persue what he likes and Thobbe get to be back with the band. I wish both the best.

[Dravakin]

Looking forward to the future but won’t lie, I’m gonna miss Tommy!

[Memeway_]

definitely gonna be an amazing era of Sabaton with him

[xmessager]

I became a fan during Tommy’s era, but seeing Thobbe back, I know the band are in good hands

[Knzero]

I was so upset when Thobbe left.
Tommy was a hell of a group member and musician, now i'm sad he leaves but OMG THOBBE IS BACK LET'S HAVE BEERS

[Cobbath]

I knew it!! I figured Thobbe would eventually come back after he got his solo stuff done. Now it's time for Tommy to get his original stuff done, and his band gets the recognition they've needed then tour with Sabaton!

[Biblecampvictim-qr]

Awsome to see Thobbe back in Sabaton. Keep creating killer records, and awsome music! Länge leve Sabaton!

[miiah]

Welcome back Thobbe! 😃🤘

I only now realise I was a little worried about the new guitar player, but with Thobbe coming back everything feels good again. While I really liked Tommy, I also really liked Thobbe and kinda missed him... So, If Tommy's going, this is the best outcome in my mind!

[AHVENAN]

I knew the second they showed the guitarr! As a lot of you probably know Thobbe is quite famous for being one of rather few guitarr players in power metal to play a Fender Strat!

[stevejones]

When I saw what Tommy gets up to on Youtube and then with his other band too, I got suspicion he might develop thoughts of leaving and commented such in one of his posts, stating I hope he doesn't. I was sorry he left but a person can do too much. This news has put a smile on my face this morning.

[LUNITICWILL]

Sabaton is now whole again. welcome back Thobbe. the only thing I wish we could have seen is having Tommy do Vocals on at least one song
