The Sonata Arctica “Arctic Storm Finland Tour 2023” has been a massive success, and we got to go to one of the first stops at Pakkahuone in Tampere. With them, they’re bringing the glam rock favorites Reckless Love and the energetic alternative rock/metal upstarts Luna Kills!

On the third day of Rockfest 2023, we weren’t able to capture as many bands as on the earlier days due to other responsibilities and some artists not wanting any pictures to be taken, but we still caught epic shows on the main stage by Michael Monroe, and Volbeat!

The second day of Rockfest 2023, the Black Stage brought 3 very different takes on rock music with shows from Crashdiet, Nestor and Cleopatrick.

The packed Yo-Talo in Tampere, Finland was hotter than hell when Reckless Love and Dirt came by to play a show full of energy, rocking the place. Nem Agency organised yet another great show.
