In 2010 Edguy's priority will be the production of a new album and very few shows will be played in between the song writing and recording sessions only. One of those rare shows of 2010 will be played between August 5th and August 7th at the prestigious Wacken Open Air which the band has played a couple of times already, in 1998, 1999, 2002 and 2005.

But before we make our plans for next year make sure you don't miss Edguy's last show in 2009; December 12th. The Knock Out Festival will be Edguy's first show in Karlsruhe since their tour with Aerosmith almost three years ago. Be there!!!

Edguy’s official fanclub “Savage Union” is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. For this reason fan club president Marion Haupt organized a party for all fan club and band members in Edguy’s home town Fulda yesterday, October 24th, to give fans and band the chance to meet each other, take photos, sign stuff and just have a great time. The band wants to thank all fan club members and of course Marion Haupt (and Alex for his patience...) for all the support, all the work, all the loyalty:
 
“Marion puts so much energy into this, she is the best fan club president you can imagine. And as a band we were really surprised how much that meeting with our fans meant to us. You kind of realize, that even in this anonymous "internet age", at the end of the day the core are very nice, very loyal and very thankful, individuals that our music seems to mean something to. And that reminds you to focus on the basics. Thank you, you are the best!”

In November 2006 Edguy headed to South America to bring their giant "Rocket Ride" stage show to Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico. The South American leg of the tour was part of a colossal world tour that started on January 27th 2006 in  Manchester England and ended after 109 shows in Asia, Europe, the USA, Canada and South America in Hollywood's infamous Key Club on Sunset Boulevard on October 26th, 2008.

During the tour Edguy shot a film document featuring the live concert in Sao Paulo on November 3rd, 2006 and a road documentary, which has been released as a DVD set called "Fucking With Fire - Live". The concert you can see on that DVD will be broadcast in its entirety on October 25th at 23:00 (1st half) and November 1st at 23:00 (2nd half)
 on i-Music-TV.

The full DVD with 5.1 surround sound and tons of bonus material is available at your local DVD/CD dealer!
