(Ektro, Pori / Helsinki)

Finland’s cult band # 1, Circle, is blasting the New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal (NWOFHM) on European club and festival stages again!

Their extraordinary amalgamation of kraut-, psychedelic, math- and hard rock influences will blow your mind, you should make sure to catch one of the seven-piece's equally explosive and hypnotic concerts. Sweden's leading daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter called them "the world's best band - all categories", reviewing their much-celebrated 2011 appearance at Roskilde Festival.

To guarantee maximum diversity, Circle can be also booked as their evil stoner rock alter ego, Pharaoh Overlord, or (for handpicked shows), or together with their British mate, Newcastle's king of weird, Richard Dawson. Circle and Dawson presented their much-acclaimed, collaborative album "Henki" (on Domino) in 2022 on some of Europe's most important festivals.
