Ensiferum

Ensiferum, Finland's legendary folk metal warriors, are bringing their epic battle anthems and thunderous live show across North America in a tour that promises to be nothing short of legendary. Known for their seamless blend of melodic death metal, traditional folk instrumentation, and Viking-era storytelling, Ensiferum delivers a concert experience that feels less like a show and more like a full-scale sonic siege. At intimate venues like El Corazon in Seattle, the energy is raw, close, and utterly electrifying — the kind of night that leaves you hoarse from singing along and breathless from the sheer force of it all. Joining Ensiferum on select dates throughout the run is Firewind, the Greek power metal powerhouse led by virtuoso guitarist Gus G. Together, these two acts form a devastating double bill that spans the breadth of heavy music — from folk-tinged Viking epics to blistering, technically precise power metal. Whether you're catching them at Pittsburgh's Thunderbird Cafe, The Sanctuary in Detroit, or The Roxy at Mahall's in Cleveland, each venue offers its own intimate character, bringing fans face to face with some of metal's most passionate performers. With shows rolling through September 2026 across multiple cities, this tour is a rare opportunity to witness two of Europe's most celebrated heavy metal acts in tight, club-sized settings before they inevitably graduate to larger stages. Come prepared for walls of sound, crowd chants that shake the rafters, and a setlist drawn from over two decades of folk metal excellence. Whether you're a die-hard sword-bearer or a curious newcomer to the genre, Ensiferum's live show is a rite of passage no metal fan should miss.
