One of the forbearers of folk metal, Finnish stalwarts Ensiferum return to Australia in 2026 – their first shows down under since 2019.
Fresh from storming their way through North America ahead of a European run of live dates next month, Ensiferum will raise their drinking horns to local fans next May with headline concerts in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.
"Australia! Great news: You asked for Ensiferum. . . and we heard you. Ensiferum is finally coming down under. Winter is coming. ❄️⚔️!"
The Winter Storm Over Australia tour will see the band perform material from their ninth studio album, also titled 'Winter Storm', that dropped late 2024 and features the cuts 'Winter Storm Vigilantes', 'Fatherland' and 'Long Cold Winter Of Sorrow And Strife'.
Ensiferum will also be packing their hits for the voyage, including 'In My Sword I Trust', 'Token Of Time' an d'Andromeda'.
Tickets on sale. *Viking helmets not included.
