Up bright and early and it’s into day 2 of rebellion Festival in Blackpool. It’s a nice day, so it’s off to find something to eat before starting  off at Club Casbah again with Migrana Social from Mexico.

Rebellion, the biggest punk festival of all is held at the awesome Winter Gardens in Blackpool, UK. The Winter Gardens is truly a huge building full of different performance spaces. Rebellion festival  encompasses many different activities. There is a cinema, acoustic stage, spoken word area as well as bars, eating places and market places for merchandise stalls. 

You can find so much to see and do but so little time to do it in. There are so many performances that harsh decisions need to be made as to who to see and who to miss. This year there is also the addition of a huge outdoor space on the seafront featuring yet even more bands. 

So many bands (and fans) attend from all over the world. It is, therefore, a great chance to see bands that you are unfamiliar with and would not normally get the chance to see.

We’re back! After all the years of cancelations, Tuska is finally happening again! With a hunger for one of our favorite festivals, and a very solid lineup consisting of a combination of rebookings from the canceled editions, surprising additions, and plenty of attention for local talents, we felt almost as excited as when we went to our very first Tuska back in 2016! After 2 rather exhausting days with memorable shows of quite a few bands, we were really looking forward to the usually more chill Tuska Sunday to slowly fade out of the festival weekend. There were still some very promising bands that would hit us with some killer shows, though!

After a great first day with memorable shows of quite a few bands, we were in a really good mood for the second day of acts we had been looking forward to, and to discover more of the festival itself!

The summer festival season has finally properly started after 2 years of barely anything! And while the established festivals all seem to be returning, there’s always room for new guns. And if they come with a cool and different concept like Hellsinki Metal Horizons, we can’t help but get excited. With a truly eclectic mix of both extreme, progressive and straight out left field bands, they were aiming to attract a similarly eclectic crowd and widen people’s horizons. Which seems to have worked admirably.

Which seems to have worked admirably. We ended up missing out on both Omnivortex and Kalmah, only catching the last song of the latter, but that didn’t change our excitement on what was to come still…

Steelfest 2022 is 4-day celebration of devil`s 10 year path.
50 bands in 4-Days full of un-compromised metal terror.

We’ve been steady supporters of the Steelfest events and now finally after 2 years of delays and much drama, the 10th year anniversary edition of Steelfest was happening! With twice the amount of days than normally, way more bands and a couple of more surprises along the way, this is simply a festival you didn’t want to miss out on if you’re any bit into underground metal without compromises!

3 days behind us, 1 more to go! This anniversary edition has been insane! Luckily this last day was a bit shorter than the other ones and it had the extra ‘Steel & Fire Fest’ and barbecue bacchanal to kick things of in a relaxed, good way.

We fully intended to catch the shows of Iku-Turso, Mist From The Mountains and Chamber Of Unlight, but honestly this extended anniversary edition of Steelfest was steadily taking its toll on us, so we sadly only managed to get ourselves together and to the festival grounds when Corpus Christii was about to take over the outdoor stage.

After an excellent first day, we geared up to get back to the festival grounds as early as we could. Sadly, we missed out on… and…, who both had crushing sets from what we’ve seen and heard.
