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!

After a long wait we finally got a regular Sonata Arctica gig again in Finland as they kicked off their “Arctic Storm Finland tour 2023”. At the end of September, they hit the stage in Tampere’s Pakkahuone, together with Reckless Love and Luna Kills. A great night organised by TuskaLive and Grey Beard Concerts and Management.

Last day of Graspop 2023, where our team member managed to see rockin’ bands like Kissin’ Dynamite, Skid Row and Mötley Crüe, melodeath supergroup The Halo Effect, the explosive show of Enter Shikari and the extremely popular performance of Hellmut Goes Metal!

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 second day brought quite a rockin’ out to the main stage with national heroes The 69 Eyes and Stratovarius and rock legends Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard.

The legendary W.A.S.P. hit the stage at a sold out Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki during their world tour celebrating 40 years of uncompromising heavy metal. The anticipation of the Helsinki crowd was through the roof already from opening act Crazy Lixx!

The hard rockers of John Diva and The Rockets Of Love are set to bring the 80s back once more with their upcoming new album ‘Back In The Days’, set for release via Steamhammer/SPV in March 2023!

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.

Week 37 brought us a bunch of wholesome, heavy and unique songs and videos from bands like Dust In Mind, SKYND, Lorna shore, Starbenders, In Flames, Vévaki, King Dude, Sahg and Electric Callboy. Go check them out if you haven’t yet!

Punk rock fans were spoiled on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago when the absolute legends of hardcore punk GBH turned On The Rocks in Helsinki into a complete chaos of old school punks and new school punks dancing and partying like there’s no tomorrow. An event by Loose Mind Productions and support from Broken Trend and Likaiset Pikkarit.
