Try to travel with your mind: back in time, desert lands, dusty roads and a long journey. Imagine to stop somewhere beautiful at the end of the trip refreshing your soul with a cold beer and a breathtaking landscape view.

Finland’s black metal anti-traditionalists Oranssi Pazuzu will finally return to the stage in 2021, following the unfortunate cancellation of their tour for autumn of this year.

Their intense ride will be supported by Brazil’s Deafkids and Norway’s Sturle Dagsland.
