Korpiklaani Announces "Heidenfest" 2026 European Tour Dates With Finntroll

Finnish folk metal stars Korpiklaani has announced a massive headlining tour of Europe and the UK, dubbed "Heidenfest 2026." Joining them on the trek will be Finntroll, marking the first time the two bands have toured together. Joining them to celebrate this unique event are some of their best friends and drinking partners in Heidevolk and Trollfest. To warm up the evening with all the dancing, drinking, moshing and all round good times are The Dread Crew of Oddwood. Due to prior agreements, Finntroll will miss the first 3 shows, and will be replaced by Moonsorrow.

Korpiklaani's Jonne Järvelä comments:
"I'm more than excited to be touring Europe with such a great group of bands. We've known each other for decades and that's why I might feel a little old. Fortunately, a carefree, joyous, unrestrained, wild, fun, exhilarating, intoxicating, unconventional, extravagant and hilarious tour life is so healthy and refreshing that it keeps us young and fresh. Come along and you'll be surprised by the amazing and crazy nights with us. Fun is guaranteed!"

Finntroll comments:
"This is no ordinary tour — it is a march of madness and glory across Europe!
Our strings are tuned to mischief, and at last we will tour side by side with our friends in Korpiklaani and TrollfesT, strengthened by Heidevolk and Oddwood. This tour brings forth a storm of dark tunes, overflowing ale, and untamed revelry.

"Expect nights where reality bends, ancient spirits stir, and the line between myth and madness disappear. Join the horde, this will be legendary!"

Heidevolk comments:
"Hello fellow heathens! After the crazy successful Paganfest tour earlier this year, we are once again invited to join a legendary tour making its long awaited return: HEIDENFEST!"

Trollfest adds:
"The ultimate tour package straight out of our moistest, wildest dreams has arrived! Korpiklaani and Finntroll — the very reasons TrollfesT was spawned into existence — are leading the charge. Add our beloved drinking brothers Heidevolk and the utterly unhinged Dread Crew of Oddwood, and you’ve got yourself a tour destined for glory! This is not just a tour… this is history, covered in beer foam, accordions, and questionable decisions!"

Finally, The Dread Crew Of Oddwood states:
"Sharpen your crab claws and prepare for an evening of ultimate folk metal fun, 'cause we're bringing Heavy Mahogany back to Europe! We can’t wait to feast alongside the legendary bands on this tour and share a night of nautical debauchery with you all!"
