Pakanafestarit returns to Espoo in just two weeks: a celebration of Nordic folklore, rituals, community, and one of the strongest line-ups yet, from folk icons Värttinä to pagan metal force Havukruunu and so much more from The Gallows Dance to Kallomäki, Ilkka Heinonen, Rauni, Iterum Nata and Ínkar and of course plenty of vendors yet again! Here are the top reasons why we think you should join us there…
