[Celtik Militia]

Korpiklaani

Thurizas
Eluveitie
Tyr

Is this fucking badass or what?
here's the official website : http://www.paganfest.net/

For the european tour, we can vote for the special guest from a list of local bands. I'd suggest you wait a little before voting cause the list of bands willing to play in the Pagan Fest isn't complete yet.

 

[Belgar]

already voted for Aes Dana ... great act out of France ... wish they would play on the US tour as well.

 

[Ryan VH]

Oh damn it! I was getting excited when I saw Korpiklaani on the bill but that's for Europe you lucky bastards!!!!

 

[Celtik Militia]

Yeah, i'm probably gonna vote for Aes Dana as well, but I'll wait a little. I'm hesitant with Heol Telwen, they're less famous and pretty damn good so they should get more support.
The site has a little mistake.. they put "DE" instead of "FR" next to Aes Dana. Kind of annoying

I know.

I'm glad theres an OC show, they haven't told us the venue yet though, just "OC Metalfest"

Come to the LA show you douche bag!!!

 

[GEEsu5]

im going to the metalfest show, no tickets released yet, but as soon as they do im buying one

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I'm going three times but...if only we got Moonsorrow and Korpiklaani instead of stupid Turisas and Ensiferum isn't even Ensiferum anymore.

 

[Bassist4Evr22]

Come to the LA show you douche bag!!!

Well I might end up doing that, because it's possible they couldn't find a place in OC and just moved it to LA. I 'd prefer the OC show though simply because it's closer and on a Saturday.

 

[Nikki]

I want Korpiklaani!




But I'll be at the NY show.

 

[Ryan VH]

They've been everywhere (except for Australia I think) BUT WHY NOT NORTH AMERICA!!!! WE'RE LOYAL!!!!!






























to some extent

 

[griev0r]

No Florida shows? Aw cmon, not all of us here are 85 years old!

 

[Celtik Militia]

Yeah, too bad for you americans. Korpiklaani is what makes the euro tour so awsome. I wonder why they're not coming to the US, I mean its hardly a month more of touring, as if they had plans in May other than drinking booze

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Chicago! duh!

 

[Ryan VH]

their sales in the US is what affects their ability to play here. That's why AA finally just finished their first headlininng tour because with oden in our side sales were very good

 

[heavy metal]

amon amarth are a lot bigger than any of the bands on the pagan fest list.btw i saw korpiklaani at leeds rio's on the 18 th of december and had a great night.

 

[Ryan VH]

but they're not exactly the same as all of these bands

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Arrrg this is so frustrating I want to see Moonsorrow not that cheap, cheesy imitation Turisas. And Korpiklaani, not Markus Toivonen and a cover band.

 

[Ryan VH]

its also like letting limbonic art tour the US but barely anyone knowing of them. Hence they would have to cancel every show due to low ticket sales. I would love to see limbonic art perform in the US

 

[Celtik Militia]

Oh, I didn't think Tyr or Thurizaz were any more famous than Korpiklaani. I believe there would be more people in Europe to go see Korpiklaani than the other two.. Korpiklaani is much more fun. but then again, I guess you know better than me about the US. It just surprises me.
