Finland’s genre-defying rock visionaries Von Hertzen Brothers return to the UK this August, bringing their unforgettable live energy to four unmissable shows:
- Thursday 7 August – Southampton, 1865*
- Friday 8 August – London, The Dome*
- Saturday 9 August – Nottingham, Rescue Rooms*
- Sunday 10 August – Stockport, Firevolt Festival
Following the release of their ninth studio album, In Murmuration (October 2024), the band arrives with renewed fire. The new record offers a shorter, sharper, and more pop-driven approach than the expansive prog of 2022’s Red Alert in the Blue Forest, showing yet another side of their ever-evolving sound.
Mikko says: “We are very excited to come over to the UK to play this summer. The new line-up has brought back the rockier side of VHB and playing gigs with this “The Famous Five” has been an absolute blast. We hope to see friendly, familiar faces on these gigs. Why not invite your friends to come and tag along too! They won’t be disappointed. And that’s a promise”.
On stage, their music takes on an even greater intensity. With a vast catalogue to draw from, fans can expect a high-voltage set spanning the full breadth of the Von Hertzen Brothers’ career — from soaring anthems to intricate prog journeys.
Joining brothers Mikko, Kie and Jonne Von Hertzen on stage are multi-instrumentalist Markus Pajakkala (Utopianisti) and powerhouse drummer Mikko Sirén (Apocalyptica) — a line-up that brings both versatility and punch to the live experience.
Renowned for their emotionally charged and immersive performances, the band has built a devoted following across Europe and beyond. One recent reviewer captured the sentiment perfectly, describing them as “Prophets of Rock” — a testament to their unique ability to connect with audiences on a deep, dynamic level.
If you’ve seen them live, you already know. If you haven’t – now is the time.
Supporting Von Hertzen Brothers in Southampton, London and Nottingham areOli Brown & The Dead Collectivewho deliver brooding, cinematic rock with a dark, soulful edge. Fronted by award-winning guitarist and vocalist Oli Brown, their sound is both haunting and electrifying, leaving a lasting mark on audiences.
For fans who like their hard rock with incredible musicianship, creativity and sophistication, this handful of shows is not to be missed.
