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.

A visual journey through the musical performances on the big stage at Pakanafestarit 2025 featuring The Gallow’s Dance, Ilkka Heinonen, Värttinä, Kallomäki, Havukruunu, and Ínkar. From tradition and ritual to overwhelming intensity, these moments capture the powerful musical heart of the festival.
Music shaped by land, tradition, and community. Väen Valkeat main stage featuring Okra Playground, Kallomäki, Kjell Braaten & Noiduin.
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!
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!
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!
Rituals at Tuska. Eihwar and Noiduin brought pagan and Nordic folk energy to the KVLT Stage during Tuska 2025.
Heilung is always such an impressive experience, more than just another concert, it’s a ritual every time leaving us energized and exhalted by the flow of energy radiating from this collective. We really didn’t want to miss out on their last tour for awhile and caught them at their very first stop in Helsinki! They brought their good friend Eivør with them to warm up the crowd with her spellbinding voice and music, which is such a darn good match always!
The tradition at GrimmGent is for all photographers to set up our personal collection of our favourites. Always an illustrious collection, sometimes with shots that haven’t even been published here. This is my Tom Treuten selection of highlights in 2024.
