Avatar - “Dance Devil Dance Tour” - Support: Kassogtha, Veil of Maya
The Heavy Metal’n’Roll dark madcap visionaries collectively known as AVATAR didn’t pick their moniker by accident. An “avatar” is defined as either a manifestation of a deity in bodily form or an icon representing a separate being in another realm. Both meanings perfectly describe the Swedish Rock sensations, as they’ve built something larger than life.
Ambitious sorcerers of the highest order, AVATAR smash the boundaries between band, theatre troupe, and cinematic masterminds, with a series of celebrated albums and videos, and the immersive world of Avatar Country, a fantastical land where Metal rules supreme. The AVATAR cultural infiltration encompasses both commercial Rock radio and streaming services, where songs like ‘The Eagle Has Landed’, ‘Hail the Apocalypse’, and ‘Let it Burn’ have amassed more than 100 million streams, as new “citizens” enter their “kingdom.” On Saturday, the band around their king Jonas “Kungen” Jarlsby visited Esch-sur-Alzette again. This time they were supported by the Swiss band KASSOGTHA and the US deathcore band VEIL OF MAYA.
