If you happen to be in Helsinki tomorrow, and you’d like to experience something special and unique, go to the Helsinki Travel Fair where Chthonic frontman Freddy Lim will perform a show with top Taiwanese musicians, bringing acoustic versions of Taiwanese metal songs!
Finland and Taiwan are joining forces and are gathering Finnish bands like Korpiklaani and Lost Society to join top names from Taiwan with Chthonic, Flesh Juicer, Crescent Lament and Sonia Calico! F:F:F: – Formosa : Finland : Fest is taking place at the end of November in Helsinki and looks like a not to be missed event!
Formosa:Finland:Fest 2026 just opened its doors! Earlier this week, we sat down with Chthonic frontman and Taiwanese ambassador to Finland Freddy Lim to talk about Taiwan, cultural exchange, optimism, and why art has the power to connect people in ways few other things can.
Nearly 30 years in, Chthonic still see their music as a journey, one rooted in Taiwanese history, melody, and emotion. Just before a rare live appearance at the cultural exchange event Formosa:Finland:Fest in Helsinki, we spoke with the band about culture, tradition, and letting music speak for itself. Thanks to Ginger Vine Management & PR for setting this up!
