On July 25th, 2024, we got to listen to some live music at the Turun Terassikesä festival. The festival, spanning several weeks, featured STRATOVARIUS and SONATA ARCTICA concerts this week.

STRATOVARIUS was the first to hit the stage. They played a mix of their most well-known songs, including “Unbreakable” and “Hunting High and Low.” They put on a great show, constantly maintaining contact with the audience, and you could see that they were genuinely having fun on stage. Timo Kotipelto’s vocals were great as always—smooth and effortless—and the performance of the whole band was nothing short of electrifying.

After a short intermission, SONATA ARCTICA entered the stage to loud applause from the audience. They played their standard festival setlist, consisting of a few ballads such as “Replica” and “Tallulah,” followed by an assortment of their faster songs that you can’t help but headbang to. SONATA ARCTICA gigs are always a great time, whether indoors or at a festival, and I’d recommend anyone to go see them live at least once.
