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!

At Tuska this year, we sat down with Jemina and Henri from the Finnish dark folk act Noiduin to talk about how they channel their own country’s folklore, pagan history and ancestors in their music and performances, how tricky it can be to work with traditional, self-build instruments and how they hope people can connect with something deep inside themselves when listening to their music.
