New Finnish festival Power & Steel to debut 5th – 6th November 2027 – tickets on sale now12/10/2026  Finland’s metal festival scene is set to welcome an exciting new addition next year with the launch of Power & Steel, an indoor festival dedicated to power metal. Taking place on 5–6 November at Helsinki’s Cable Factory, the winter festival will bring together fans and an international lineup of bands, with the first wave of artists announced already. Festival promoter Niko Viherlaiho says the new event will kick off in true power metal style – going all in from the start. “There has been demand for a power metal festival in Finland for quite some time. The large Finnish contingent at Denmark’s Epic Fest is a good example of that. We didn’t want to start small. As is customary in power metal, we’re going high and hard right from the beginning,” Viherlaiho explains. Alongside classic power metal, the festival will also feature traditional heavy metal. According to Viherlaiho, the genre is close to the hearts of fans with similar tastes and will also help the festival reach a wider audience. Over the two days, more than 20 acts will perform at Helsinki’s Cable Factory, with half of the lineup announced so far. The first wave includes Brazilian metallers ANGRA, formed in 1991, who will finally make their Finnish debut. British heavy metal veterans Tygers Of Pan Tang will also play their first-ever show in Finland. The lineup is further strengthened by US metal band Virgin Steele and Fabio Lione’s Dawn Of Victory, featuring the Italian vocalist known for fronting numerous leading bands in the genre. Other international acts confirmed for the festival’s inaugural edition include Boston-based symphonic metal band Seven Spires, Icelandic power metal outfit Power Paladin, who will celebrate their 10th anniversary next year, and Swedish band Insania, originally formed in 1992. Completing the announcement are Finnish acts Metal De Facto, Dreamtale, Force Majeure and Strider. Festivalgoers will also be able to enjoy a variety of food and drink options at the event. The remaining artists will be announced over the coming winter. Tickets for the age-restricted, 18+ Power & Steel Festival are on sale now via Lippu.fi.

 Following the release of her fantastic new album, “Green Live”, Swiss singer-songwriter Seraina Telli is taking the show on the road this autumn when she docks into the UK for a number of dates. The tour sits between shows in Germany, her native Switzerland, and Spain. Fans can catch her at the follow stops:
For Seraina, the stage is not an addition to the music. It is the centre of it all. While many artists perfect their songs in the studio, the most important part of Seraina's music only comes to life on stage: in the moment, between band and audience, between energy, chaos and magic. Anyone who has seen Telli live quickly realizes that this is not about perfection at all costs. It is about intensity. About connection. About those rare concert moments that cannot be planned, when a song suddenly takes on a new direction, when the audience sings back every word, or when a room falls completely silent for a fleeting moment. You can hear it and, above all, feel it. On stage, she is never alone. Her long-time drummer Mike and bassist Lukas form the powerful backbone of a live experience that is far more than a rock concert. It is a complete emotional journey. Telli concluded by saying: “The autumn tour feels like the beginning of the next chapter, one that I'm not writing alone." https://www.facebook.com/serainatelliofficial/ From Wacken to the world - 35 shows in 35 countries on 1 day, this is the global metal apocalypse19/2/2026  "“On this day, it’s the other way around: the world welcomes Wacken — and together we celebrate a global heavy metal party.” - |
