Last month, the tribe of Helsinki got to welcome Soulfly at Tavastia. Founded by the legendary Max Cavalera they still sound and are as energetic as ever, and with the fitting addition of Finnish hardcore icons Terveet Kädet as support, it was a great night with fast music!

On the first full day of Alcatraz 2025, 3 out of 4 stages will be opened by some Belgian gems, some banging heavy metal from Room13, atmospheric and melancholic doom with Splendidula and brutal death with a wink and a grin from Coffin Feeder!

Avatar is back with another single under the form of ‘In The Airwaves’, the fastest song they’ve done in quite some time! Catch them live the coming years supporting Iron Maiden in Europe right now, at their exclusive Europe festival show at Alcatraz Festival, US headline tour this fall, Europe headline tour early 2026 or supporting Metallica in Europe summer 2026,… plenty of opportunities!
