This is the first live show ever in Stockholm for Avatarium - joining Inglorious and Grand Magus, more names to be announced soon.

Avatarium deliver a special blend of heavy adventurous music. Think about Jethro Tull, Blue Oyster Cult, Sabbath and Rainbow. It's all there together with some delicate moments of beauty and frailness that you rarely find in a band these days. In Avatarium's music you will also hear tangents of pop and 60s influences.
