Day 2 of the very first Ankea Festival continued to bring together a carefully chosen mix of progressive, atmospheric and alternative sounds on the Ankea Stage. Our photographers captured the powerful alternative metal of Finnish outfit Rioghan who were opening the stage that day, the expansive progressive sound of Ihlo, the atmospheric rock of Green Carnation, and the intricate progressive metal of Textures, before the day culminated in a special headline set from Swedish metal veterans Katatonia.

Five distinctive acts, each with their own take on atmosphere and emotion, made for another memorable day at Ankea. Take a look through our gallery and relive some of the highlights from the Ankea Stage.
