Gig Reports
2023 was the year when you could say that Demolition 23. are back, and they are here to show what a true punk rock ‘n’ roll show is. This unit only released one album in 1994 with a lot of critical acclaim, achieving legendary status that still stays almost 30 years later, and they destroyed Tavastia in Helsinki back in October!
On Friday 23th of September, we witnessed a historical night of rock ‘n’ roll when the original lineup of the legendary band Hanoi Rocks performed for the first time in 40 years in front of a sold out arena with over 8000 people in Jäähalli, Helsinki at Michael Monroe’s 60th birthday extravaganza.
