Venue: Tuska Open Air Metal Festival at the Suvilahti event field
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Date: June 28, 2013
I've seen Wintersun once before, at home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada when they played The Republik with Eluvitie and Varg. The show was awesome (despite the small stage and small venue) but the fans were the really remarkable element of the show.
They were insane!
The Wintersun audience was probably the most energetic audience I've ever seen, with a great circle pit developing and a big push forward towards the stage almost immediately.
I expected nothing less when I was lucky enough to see Wintersun in their home country of Finland, at the Tuska Open Air Metal Festival.

Wintersun took the stage at 4:15pm on the first day of the show, and was one of the first acts I saw at the festival. I've never been to a festival this large before (Tuska brings in 20,000 - 30,000 metal fans per year) and Wintersun was an amazing way to start the experience. The fans were just as energetic (despite the early hour and the hot sun) and the band seemed to really be having just as good of a time on stage, as we were all having in front of the stage.
