PAGANFEST STARTS THIS WEEK!

Is it already that time of year? Holy shit, it is! The second annual run of the MetalSucks-sponsored Paganfest USA tour kicks off tomorrow in Toronto and runs through May 18th all over the U.S. and Canada! This is huge news for the following reasons:
- You finally get to dust off that old viking helmet that’s been lying around since last year’s Paganfest.
- You get to drink lots of beer, repeatedly pump your fist in the air and yell “hey!,” and generally act like an asshole at a concert without feeling bad about it.
- You get to see this year’s lineup of ridiculously awesome pagan metal bands: Korpiklaani, Primordial, Moonsoorow, Blackguard and Swashbuckle.
- Last year’s Paganfest was the most fun we had at a show all year; for serious!
We’ll be at the New York date on Monday, May 4th at Irving Plaza. Brownie points to anyone who dresses up in warpaint and loincloths. Bonus: after the jump, check out the chill-inducing Metal Injection-filmed live footage of Turisas performing “Rasputin” at last year’s Paganfest.
I can’t wait for this show. Korpiklaani will be ridiculous. The entire thing will be ridiculous, but they’ll be particularly absurd. So awesome.
dungeons and dragons fest!
also – do they have enough sponsors and “tour powered by’s…..” for this tour? damn!
YEEEAH! Tomorrow night in Toronto! Can’t wait. Haha, Moonsorrow was here for a headlining tour in November ^^ Pagans love us Canadians.
Lol… “Tour Powered By: Cocaine”
When Amon Amarth was here last month, i watched a guy in a Viking helmet and a fur loincloth get beat up by 2 ravers. a battleaxe versus glowsticks, and the glowsticks won.
Anybody else her see Paganfest in Chicago last night?
