The birth of a fan page – Melli & Julia wanted to share their passion with other fans, so they started on Instagram as “Visions Of Atlantis Fanpage”, but changed the name quite soon, as they thought a band who sings about the ocean, adventures and pirates deserves more then “just” a “Fanpage”.
And so the fanpage became known under the current name Visions Of Atlantis Sailors (short: VoA Sailors).
But not only fans got to know about the page and supported us. Also VoA and its members started to follow since the very beginning which means the world to us!

2020 started in the way, 2019 ended. With some great VoA concerts! VoA played the first leg of their Wanderers Tour in February, where Melli & Julia were also present, looked forward to join VoA fully on the road of their second leg later the year. But first, VoA traveled to the US for a tour with Dragonforce. But after five shows only & one festival in Mexico, the sad reality of 2020 hit hard.
The world stopped, the world as we knew, didn’t existed anymore.
But the both friends didn’t bust their heads in the sand and continued, shared their pictures and videos, tried to make the situation a little more bearable. Among other things they shared a long-planned
Thank-You-Video for Visions Of Atlantis‘ 20th anniversary.
From the beginning, the fanpage main focus was to share mostly its own taken photos. Due to the lack of concerts in 2020 and 2021 a huge problem raised: The lack of new content. And so the first cooperation with Visions Of Atlantis came up. They provided us with photos from different shows we were allowed to share (e.g. from Bang Your Head Festival – VoAs first orchestra show). But not only that, in 2021 Julia & Melli had the chance to interview Clémentine about their plans and new record, which was in the making by then.

Since we became the official fan club, fans have enjoyed a broader range of content, but Melli & Julia have remained true to their main focus and continued to publish primarily their own content. However, in the following years, they also entered into collaborations with other fan clubs (e.g., the Kissin‘ Dynamite Pyromaniacs or the Seraina’s BaTELLIons) to further connect fans, but also with different photographers (e.g. Alex Wahl aka Oscura Lente Fotografia or Ryan Murray) to provide more insights into VoA’s concerts around the world when none of the fan club can be there in person.
In addition, various fan projects were launched, such as the VoA Sailors Fan Tales of the Symphonic Metal Nights 2022 or the self-made „Armada“ with fan greetings as a gift for VoA’s latest album at the time Pirates II – Armada in July 2024.

Anna stumbled upon Visions of Atlantis a couple years back at a concert in her hometown of Graz. Their music gave Anna the courage to be their true self and opened the door to countless treasured memories along the way.
With many of the band’s shows scattered across distant lands, they found themselves traveling more than ever — roamin’ like a sailor with the wind at their back. Life on the road became an adventure in itself, each journey bringing new stories, new sights, and new mates they now hold dear.
Here’s to the music that keeps them sailing forward and the people who make the journey worth taking.
