A couple of weeks ago, Apocalyptica brought the amazing experience of ‘Matka Mieleen – Kaamoksen Sellot’ to Tampere’s Tuomiokirkko, an experience our reporter won’t be forgetting any time soon!

The amount of intensity and energy that came from Igorrr at the Pakkahuone venue in Finland last month, and with them Amenra and Der Weg Einer Freiheit, was something that was perfect to start off the week! If we still somewhat had the Monday blues, they made sure to absolutely blast it away!
At the end of October, Volbeat impressed the people at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland with a rock ‘n’ roll show of epic proportions. With them came Skindred and Bad Wolves for a decent warm-up and party!

Wasted did another small Finnish tour together with their vocalist’s new project, so I had to be there!
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!
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.
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.
Steve ‘n’ Seagulls came to Tampere’s G Livelab in the beginning of June and united people of all ages with their light-hearted music and bluegrass/country takes on rock and metal classics!
