por Emil Gil Bretón · 11/10/2023

American experimental rock legends SWANS will play in two weeks in Helsinki with their new European Tour 2023. The concert will be at the venue Tavastia (Helsinki) on October 24th. The band was formed in 1982 by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. SWANS has released sixteen studio albums and their newest «The Beggar» was released this June via Young God Records. The band have become recognized for an ever-changing sound, exploring genres such as noise rock, post-punk, neo-folk, industrial and post-rock. SWANS‘ music has transformed greatly over the decades, but is typically dark and «apocalyptic», often focusing on themes of power, religion, sex and death, and has been most generally associated with experimental rock. American musician and former SWANS guitarist NORMAN WESTBERG will be the opening act for the evening.
