Italian folk-metallers Elvenking are coming back to Falun for the second time, bringing with them a sprinkling of fairy dust and a lot of impossibly catchy violin riffs! The band take their inspiration from folk music and dance from around the world – and with an impressive nine albums to their name, there’s sure to be something in their set for every nation at our festival.
