After a hiatus year, Rockfest is back! New location, but also a rather action packed first batch of confirmed names for the 2025 edition with names like Muse, Judas Priest and Till Lindemann topping the bill!

The Bloody Beetroots are back! Signing with Out Of Line, new song ‘This is Blood’, featuring N8NOFACE and Teddy Killerz, is out now, bringing back their signature “rock-meets-dance” crossover sound and the first single from a 2-part series ‘The Bloody Beetroots Forever Pt. 1 & Pt. 2’!

French alt-metal outfit Revnoir released a new single and video last week with ‘Crève’, another banging track released by these guys who were a pleasant surprise as the openers for Future Palace when their tour dropped by Helsinki! Out via Arising Empire!

At the beginning of this month, Blood Command announced to have signed with Arising Empire for the next chapter in their career, and unleashed the brand-new single ‘We Could Be Heaven’ to celebrate!

We’re already looking forward for that promised 2025 new album and seeing them rip up the stage at next year’s Tuska Festival!

Shinedown’s Eric Bass announces his debut solo album ‘Eric Bass Presents: I Had A Name’, set for release in February 2025 and shared a first track and video with ‘Mind Control’!

The last weekend of October, Apulanta played two glorious shows at Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland in front of a huge crowd of fans, and joined by Lahtis Sinfonia Orchestra. A show that somehow felt simultaneously simplistic and very grand, with a well-thought-out light show and setlist featuring rarely played tracks live!

Apulanta joined forces with Lahtis Sinfonia Orchestra for a couple of unforgettable shows by Nelonen Media Live. We made it to the gig on Friday the 25th of October at Tampere’s Nokia arena, and we had such a good time that the 2,5 hours simply flew by!

Smash Into Pieces were back in Finland a while back, and we got to see their show at Tampere’s Pakkahuone, where they played in front of a full house alongside Cyan Kicks. A wonderful night of good music and atmosphere, hosted by Live Nation Finland.

Smash Into Pieces and Cyan Kicks are taken over the world one gig at a time, steadily increasing their following and crowds. And these bands filling up Tampere’s Pakkahuone for a night of great fun was a testament to the success of both bands!

Finnish rockers The Rasmus signed a joint record deal with Better Noise Music and Playground Music and have announced to be releasing their new song ‘Rest In Pieces’ this Friday October 25th and their “Weirdo” Europe tour for 2025!
