To round off the 20th Anniversary year, Amorphis will play seven shows in major Finnish cities in December. In line with the upcoming Magic & Mayhem album, the setlist will consist of material from the band’s early years – the recent radio hits are not on the agenda this time…

The shows in Seinäjoki, Oulu and Tampere will be opened by Ensiferum. Please see the Tour page for dates, venues and information on ticket sales.
