Dark Tranquility / Ensiferum

Dark Tranquility and Ensiferum will be in the UK for three shows as part of their co-headline European tour in April!

They will be visiting London, Manchester and Birmingham.

Dark Tranquillity frontman Mikael Stanne said: “Let’s break the spell of silence and fear together this winter! We couldn’t be more excited to go back on the European roads again, and to finally play in front of people, to hang out and to vent all this frustration that’s been building inside for far too long. It’s going to be incredible to join forces with our Finnish brothers Ensiferum for this as well. Having toured together before and crossed paths many times we look forward to screaming the night away throughout Europe this spring. Can’t wait to see you all! Cheers!”

Sami Hinkka, of Ensiferum, said: “After such a long time of darkness & uncertainty in the live music scene, we are very happy to finally reveal a light at the end of the tunnel! We’ll be joining forces with the legendary Dark Tranquillity for a massive co-headlining tour around Europe. It’s no secret that back in the day, Dark Tranquillity was one of the bands that inspired Markus Toivonen to start Ensiferum and now we are hitting the road with our heroes. How awesome is that?! We are sure that everyone is craving some energetic and ass-kicking live music experiences (we sure are!) and with this line-up, this tour is not to be missed. Get your ticket in advance & help support the return of live music! We can’t wait to see you in the front row!”

The Bottom Line

The Bottom Line will play a headline show in London in October.

Vocalist Cal Amies said: “We’ve wanted to play Slam Dunk for as long as we’ve been a band so having the privilege of opening up the main stage was insane. The shows were so rad and it was amazing to see so many people there that early! Broke has only been out for a couple of weeks so to see people singing it back to us was dope. We can’t wait to tear up London in October. It’s good to be back!”
