Who says festival season ends with summer? In Finland, the dark months come alive with music: experience the true punk spirit at HKI SKEPU FEST (starting tonight), get in touch with your ancestors and nature at Pakanafestarit, discover new talent at Lost In Music, embrace the shadows at Hellsinki Industrial Festival, sail into chaos with the Hellsinki Metal Cruise, sink into sorrow at Melancholy Mass Festivals, and feel the fire indoors at John Smith Rock Frozen. When the nights are long, Finland turns the volume up.

Faun released their new and 12th studio album ‘HEX’ last Friday and to celebrate shared the final single and music video ‘Belladonna’!

Music shaped by land, tradition, and community. Väen Valkeat main stage featuring Okra Playground, Kallomäki, Kjell Braaten & Noiduin.

We spoke with Stephan and Adaya of Faun about their new album ‘Hex’, a journey through witchcraft, empowerment, and world fusion sounds, out tomorrow September 5th!

A couple of weeks ago, FAUN unveiled another single with ‘Nimue’, featuring Chelsea Wolfe, diving deep into the legendary world of King Arthur. A track from their upcoming album ‘Hex’, out on September 5th!

And to wrap up the second edition of Litha Fest in style, we had Garters and Giggles and Dwayne Pyro treat us on a magical fire ritual!

There was so much more to do at the second edition of our event Litha Fest besides checking out the musical performances! You could learn how to folk dance with Balhalla, or how to sword fight with SwArta, get yourself a massage from De Viking Masseur, check out the many unique vendors that showed up or just simply enjoy the wonderful atmosphere!

On the second and smaller stage in Asgaard, we got to enjoy enchanting shows of Gentse Folk Studenten, Sanseveria, and Eleni Neldë at the second edition of our festival Litha Fest!

Construction

A little love for our volunteers who helped build Litha Fest 2025! Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible!

Arkona

The second edition of our very own ‘Litha Fest’ festival brought performances of Hexacurse, Blod Dyr, Serpents Oath, Vanaheim, Prima Nocta and Arkona to the main stage about a month ago!
