June 29, 2013, 10 years ago
According to the organizers of the Castle Rock festival, taking place July 12th - 13th in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, WINTERSUN have been forced to drop off the bill as one of the headliners. They have been replaced by Finnish folk metallers KORPIKLAANI, who will perform on July 13th.
Wintersun regrets having to drop off the bill and have agreed to play the Castle Rock festival in 2014
Festival details here.
After several sold-out shows last year on their inaugural North American co-headlining tour with ELUVEITIE, Finnish epic metallers Wintersun will return to North American shores once again for a headlining tour this August/September. Joining them are Italian symphonic death metal champions FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, melodic tech-death kings ARSIS and up-and-comers STARKILL.
Says Wintersun: "We're thrilled to return to North America for a full-scale headliner tour in August and September! It will be our first longer own headlining tour ever and this time, without any setlist length limitations, we'll be able to offer the North American crowds a special show - representing both the Wintersun and Time I albums. There might also be some surprises in the setlist as well... We are really looking forward to sharing the live magic with YOU, all the fans out there!"
