Manala North American Tour will launch in Quebec City on August 28th, with MOONSORROW, TÝR and METSATÖLL rounding out the lineup.
“Once again we are very excited to come back to North America,” said vocalist/guitarist, Jonne Järvelä. “It will be the first time we are able to tour on the release of our new record, Manala. We are also very pleased to be having our very good close friends from Moonsorrow, Týr and Metsatöll, so expect a great party with good friends and even better music!”In an effort to give back to the fans, Korpiklaani and Nuclear Blast will be giving away a limited number of guest list spots (not a backstage pass) to some lucky fans for the Manala North American Tour.
