Alestorm

Alestorm, the trailblazing Scottish folk metal band, have carved a singular niche in the global metal scene since forming in 2007. Fusing the high-octane energy of metal with adventurous folk melodies, Alestorm are renowned for their irreverent approach and dynamic live performances. Their discography, which includes albums like "Curse of the Crystal Coconut" and "Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum", exemplifies their unique blend of genre and their flair for storytelling rooted in maritime lore.

Esteemed for revitalising and popularising folk metal, Alestorm continue to push musical boundaries. The band's recent activity features the EP "Voyage of the Dead Marauder" (released March 2024) and a highly anticipated album, "The Thunderfist Chronicles", scheduled for release in June 2025. With memorable tracks such as "1741 - The Battle of Cartagena" and "Back Through Time", they have become festival favourites and consistently draw enthusiastic crowds to their shows.

Their touring calendar underscores their status as a formidable live music act, with major concerts across the UK and Europe, including headline gigs at venues like the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London and Rock City in Nottingham in January 2027. Alestorm’s high-energy concerts, often joined by support acts like Battle Beast and Wizardthrone, make for an unmissable live experience. Fans and newcomers alike are encouraged to follow Alestorm and keep an eye on their tour dates to catch forthcoming gigs and new releases.
