Finnish symphonic rock with a female lead singer adding those all-essential operatic vocals. Nightwish, who sing in English, are phenomenally popular in their native Finland and easily sell out concerts in the rest of Northern and Eastern Europe too. Their name should give you a clue as to their major influences; Tolkien fantasy fiction, films such as Van Helsing, The Village and intriguingly Beauty and the Beast.

Tickets 1,500-6,000Rbl.
