Swedish adventure rock outfit HÄLLAS recently released their new album, “Panorama,” and naturally, that meant hitting the road. Luckily for us, the tour included a stop at Korjaamo in Helsinki on February 6th, 2026, and we made sure not to miss the chance to catch these modern-day prog torchbearers live.
While the show may not have been completely sold out, the venue was packed, proving that even a niche genre like this has a strong and dedicated following. As someone who grew up on ’70s prog thanks to her dad, there’s something especially satisfying about seeing a band like HÄLLAS channel those glory days into a fresh, contemporary form.
The setlist leaned heavily on “Panorama” but didn’t forget the fan favorites, with classics like “Star Rider” and “Carry On” making welcome appearances. The performance felt both nostalgic and revitalizing—exactly what adventure rock should be. We certainly hope it won’t be long before they return to Finland.
Support came from Finnish act POLYMOON, a band we hadn’t yet seen live but had long appreciated. This turned out to be the perfect opportunity to witness them in action—and they absolutely delivered, living up to the buzz surrounding them.
