Hmph, I wonder if it's okay to create an own topic for a certain gig... But well, there seem to be some other topics like this as well, so I decided to act instead of just thinking. And I want to know... Did some of you guys attend the festival?

So, last Saturday I saw HammerFall live for the first time in my life. Sauna Open Air is an annual metal festival organised in Tampere, and as you can guess, HammerFall was one of the performers. Other bands to perform that day were Mötley Crüe, Poisonblack, Sparzanza, Finntroll, Sturm Und Drang, Profane Omen and Prestige. I only saw Sparzanza's and HammerFall's concerts, and a part of Poisonblack's performance. We had a great day, me and my brother... I'm sure I will never forget it!

HammerFall's show was amazing. It was surely one of the best gigs I have ever attended. I mean, HammerFall really is one of my favourite bands, and it was just incredibly great to see them live. I also got their autographs.


THE SETLIST (... But I'm not 100 % sure if the songs are in right order)
Blood Bound
Renegade
Hallowed Be My Name
The Abyss
Last Man Standing
Heeding the Call
Glory to the Brave
Life Is Now
Any Means Necessary
Riders of the Storm
Let the Hammer Fall

If you want to read my further review of the day (in English, and with pics), you can find it here.

I've got nothing else to say, I guess - just wanted to share this great experience with you guys. =P Hail from Finland!

It was the same playlist like their performant in Örebro 9th of may, i believe.

I was going to go as I live in Tampere but no I couldn't make it. (Neither could I see the Stratovarius show I missed that one as well)

Our pictures of Hammerfall's gig in Tampere can be found in here, enjoy!
