Headliners

Ensiferum

A five piece melodic folk metal band from Helsinki who formed in 1995. The word Ensiferum is Latin for "sword bearing" and the lyrical theme of their songs often relate to mythological or real historic stories based on Nordic concepts and heroic acts by warriors and vikings.

Children of Bodom

Children of Bodom are a Finnish heavy metal band featuring modern day guitar hero Alexi Laiho. COB can be as downright brutal as any metal band when the situation demands but what places this band at the pinnacle of the pack is the way it can suddenly dish up huge swathes of melody and instantly memorable choruses with an unmatched degree of musicianship.
