With 30 shows in 17 countries, Ankor’s “Shoganai EU/UK Tour 2025” ended at the DVG Club in Kortrijk, Belgium with support of Conquer Divide and A Dark Reborn, and we of course where there!

Ankor has been getting a lot of attention and making new fans this past festival season in Europe, and it clearly got caught by TuskaLive as well, bringing this exciting group back to Helsinki for a completely sold-out and packed night at On The Rocks. And with the addition of special guests Conquer Divide and openers A Dark Reborn, the party was complete!

Interviews

We sat down with Jessie and Eleni of Ankor after their show at this year’s Tuska Festival, the last stop of a crazy weekend that took them to 3 different countries in 3 days, and had a short chat about their busy summer, the way they like to release new music and how 2024 really seems to be a big year for the band.

Yesterday, they announced a major European tour for 2025 which will take them to most countries of the continent. You won’t want to miss out on that, tickets are available starting tomorrow!
