Sweden’s SOEN bring a tidal wave of emotional power and musical precision to the stage, blending progressive metal, post-rock atmosphere, and melodic depth in a sound that’s entirely their own. Ever since the release of their boundary-breaking debut Cognitive (2012), former Opeth drummer Martin Lopez and vocalist Joel Ekelöf have led SOEN in carving out a reputation as one of the most compelling live acts in modern metal. Six studio albums later, their latest release, Memorial (2023), was named Best Album of the Year by Metal Hammer Germany, further cementing the band’s place at the forefront of the genre. With a global fanbase and a streak of critically acclaimed records, SOEN deliver a live experience that’s as heavy as it is haunting — technical yet deeply human. For fans of bands such as Architects, Gojira, Disturbed, Tool, Devin Townsend, Opeth, and Katatonia, SOEN is a must-see act. Expect sweeping dynamics, raw emotion, and moments of true musical transcendence. Arrive in time for the opening act and show your support for up-and-coming artists and maybe discover your new favourite act!
