After 14 years, the Swedish industrial metallers PAIN are returning to Zagreb as part of the big European tour “I AM”! They will be joined on stage as special guests by Finnish folk metal legends Ensiferum. This exceptional metalion evening will be enriched by Swedish Eleine and Japanese Ryjujin. The date is October 26 (Thursday).
Tickets at the presale price of 30 euros can be purchased at the Dirty Old Shop and through their website. On the day, if they are left, they will cost 34 euros.
PAIN was founded in 1996 in the Swedish city of Ludvika, and its founder is the multitalented Peter Tägtgren. He is also the only permanent member, best known for his work with the band Hypocrisy. Stylistically, it can be defined as a combination of heavy metal, electronic music and techno from the 80s. PAIN has released eight albums so far, which include hits such as “End Of The Line”, “Shut Your Mouth”, “Same Old Song”, “Follow Me” and “Coming Home”. The Zagreb audience had the opportunity to meet them in 2009, when they performed in Cibona as the opening act for Nightwish. As part of this tour, they will visit 17 countries and as many as 33 cities, and Peter will be joined on stage by his son Sebastian on drums, Jonathan Olsson on bass (recently performed in Močvara with the band Dynazty) and Sebastian Svalland on guitar.
