Raskasta Joulua 2012

Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) will begin its annual tour again in November, in Finland.

This year’s Raskasta Joulua tour artists are:
Marco Hietala (Nightwish, Tarot, Northern Kings), J. Ahola (Teräsbetoni, AHOLA, Northern Kings), JP Leppäluoto (Charon, Harmaja, Northern Kings), Ari Koivunen (Amoral), Pasi Rantanen (Thunderstone), Tommi “Tuple” Salmela (Tarot), Antony Parviainen (Machine Men) and of course Ilja Jalkanen (Kiuas). Soloists are, as usual, at least 3 per each concert.

Concert ticket pre-sale has been plentiful also this year, as for example the concerts in Ylivieska and Raahe are already almost sold-out.
