HANOI ROCKS: 3 special shows in Finland and a brief UK tour

Hanoi Rocks keeps rolling after a pretty busy summer. Besides the biggest Finnish rock festivals, the band played at two festivals in Sweden; Peace and Love and Sweden Rock. They also visited Norway’s Lillehammer Metal Rock Festival. The next stop for Hanoi Rocks will be Spain on the 5th of September at the gigantic Azkena Rock Festival. The new Hanoi Rocks drummer George ”Jolle” Atlagic, who joined the band in May, has integrated quite nicely with the colorful group.

Hanoi Rocks' fall schedule includes three special shows in Finland. Probably the most internationally attended show will be on the 25th of October in Tampere at Pakkahuone where they will be headlining the Lost In Music Festival, taking place in Tampere 22.-25.10 as part of the international Music & Media industry expo.

The band is especially happy to please their younger fans by doing two club gigs with no age limit as well. The first one will take place in Helsinki at Tavastia on Saturday 18.10. and the second one in Turku at Klubi on Saturday 15.11. They will also play regular gigs in both clubs during the same evening after the no age limit-shows. Hanoi Rocks will also do a brief tour of some of the coolest rock clubs in the UK later in the fall.
