KORPIKLAANI tour 2012

Manala North American Tour will launch in Quebec City on August 28th,
with MOONSORROW, TÝR and METSATÖLL rounding out the lineup.



“Once again we are very excited to come back to North America,” said
vocalist/guitarist, Jonne Järvelä. “It will be the first time we are
able to tour on the release of our new record, Manala. We are also very
pleased to be having our very good close friends from Moonsorrow, Týr
and Metsatöll, so expect a great party with good friends and even better
music!”



In an effort to give back to the fans, Korpiklaani and Nuclear Blast
will be giving away a limited number of guest list spots (not a
backstage pass) to some lucky fans for the Manala North American Tour.

KORPIKLAANI - "Fuck Off British Airways, Seriously, Fuck Off"




Finland's KORPIKLAANI has issued the following rant:


"Stupid fucking shitload of an airline called British Airways left
all our gear in London. All. Other luggage arrived ok. 'Look, some band
gear. Let's leave it here so that they won't be able to play.' Current
info is that the gear will arrive here approx. 3h before the showtime
tomorrow. Remains to be seen. And on top of that, someone had been
smoking in the plane's toilet and the stupid fucking git of a flight
attendant comes to shout at us 'cause the long haired ones are always
guilty. Fuck off, British Airways. Seriously. Fuck off."
