Standout Moment(s):
Finntroll delivered two polar-opposite performances: their first, in daylight on the Pool Deck, lived up to its name as the “party set,” brimming with energy and fun. On the final day, however, the band shifted gears, unveiling their darker, more sinister side with a set that highlighted their shadowy edge. At times channeling the playfulness of Trollfest or Korpiklaani, the epic scope of Moonsorrow or Elvenking, and then twisting it into something far more ominous, Finntroll proved their versatility. Whether playful or menacing, their shows remain entertaining, one of the many reasons they’ve been welcomed back to the boat four times.

What is the Artist Spotlight?

Well, it’s more than a review of their performance; as 70000tons goes, each band is a headliner, and we treat each one as such, giving them their own spread, discussing who they are and what they’ve been up to since the cruise. Each spotlight coincides with any updates from 70000tons organizers (if any), leading to days before setting sail. An extensive coverage like no other.
