New Wave Of Finnish Heavy Metal organised a Vappu after party with Crimson Day, Everlore and Neverfade at Maanalainen in Tampere. An overall fun event full of heavy music discoveries.

At the end of March it was time for a fantastic rock and metal opera in Stuttgart’s Schleyerhalle, Tobias Sammet’s multi musician project Avantasia held court. A fantasy stage layout built the base for a 3-hour spectacle that was packed with a long line of guest vocalists.

Last Friday, Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica came to Tampere’s fully packed Tavara-Asema for their “Nordic Power Titans tour 2025”. In addition, they also brought along Arion to warm up the room for them. While the sound wasn’t always quite on point, that didn’t stop the evening from being a great amount of fun. An event by Grey Beard Concerts & Management.

Tuhdimmat Tahdit’s second day with Brother Firetribe, Tarot, Huora, Klamydia, Suburban Tribe, Sonata Arctica and Apulanta was just as much fun as the first day!

Day one of Tuhdimmat Tahdit in it’s all renewed version gave us Kotiteollisuus, Marko Hietala, Lost Society, Stratovarius, Mokoma, Stam1na and Amorphis. What a great festival that we sure will return to again in the future.
