Finntroll will headline Visigoth Metal Fest at On The Rocks in Helsinki on Saturday 20 March 2027.

Three bands play under them. Midjungards bring battle metal, Folkrim the lighter and more melodic end of folk metal, and Bad Trick a heavier modern sound that sits apart from the other three. Visigöth Agency organise the evening.

Doors are at 19:00 and the show is 18 and over. Advance tickets are 32 euro through Tiketti, 36 euro at the door if any are left, with a cloakroom fee of 3.80 euro on top. The organisers say the running order may still move and to check it on the day.

Finntroll have spent three decades putting black metal, folk melody and humppa rhythm into the same songs, a combination nobody else has needed to copy and nobody has managed to borrow cleanly either.

On a four band folk bill they are the act the room is there for, and On The Rocks is a club rather than a hall, which for a band that normally plays festival stages in the summer puts the whole thing much closer to the floor than usual.
