Second day at an exciting edition of Alcatraz with H.E.A.T., Sepultura and Biohazard on the main stage!
Every year, one day of the 10-day long Lokerse Feesten is dedicated to metal. A day full of headbanging, mosh-pits and heavy guitars with this year Hammok, Biohazard, Doodseskader, Bullet For My Valentine, Psychonaut, Megadeth, Slift, Within Temptation, Stake and Amenra.
Day 2 of Tuhdimmat Tahdit was just as hot. Carnival Academy, Heavy Metal Perse, Antony Parviainen Trio, Turmion Kätilöt, Metalite, Wolfheart, Shereign, Before the Dawn, Brymir, Mokoma, Swallow the Sun and lastly Battle Beast. Master Events gave us a festival that is certainly worth coming back to.
Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events brought one very hot festival to Tampere’s Ratinanniemi. It started with Verikalpa and ended with Beast in Black, but we also can’t forget about all the bands in between: Transworld Identity, Prestige, Ensiferum, Bloodred Hourglass, Dynazty, Lordi, Mors Subita, Dead by April and Diablo.
On the third day of Rockfest 2023, we weren’t able to capture as many bands as on the earlier days due to other responsibilities and some artists not wanting any pictures to be taken, but we still caught the performances by Finnish legends Xysma and Rotten Sound on the Black Stage!
The second day of Rockfest 2023, the Red Stage by Soundi was the place to be for stellar performances by Von Hertzen Brothers, Escape The Faith, Testament and Stam1na.
The outdoor stage on the 2nd day of Steelfest XI was the place for explosive and often high velocity performances by Tsatthoggua, Sex Messiah, Grenadier, Witchtrap, Kalmankantaja and Behexen!
