Press Release – September 16, 2026
BRING ME THE HORIZON, BAD OMENS, AND APULANTA TO HEADLINE PROVINSSI FESTIVAL 2026
Limited batch of special-priced Quick Bird tickets on sale now
The first artist announcements for Provinssi, taking place June 25–27, 2026, promise a strong lineup of top-tier contemporary music. Headlining next summer’s “Festival of the People” are modern metal pioneers Bring Me The Horizon (UK) and Bad Omens (US), as well as Finnish rock legends Apulanta, who will celebrate their 30-year history with Provinssi with a special anniversary show. Joining them are progressive death metal act Blood Incantation (US), heavy metal supergroup Cemetery Skyline (SE/FI), and the bold, feminist pagan metal trio Witch Club Satan (NO).
British heavyweights Bring Me The Horizon, one of the most popular bands in modern metal, have carved out a place in the genre’s top tier with their genre-bending sound. Formed in Sheffield in 2004, the band’s latest studio album, Post-Human: NeX GEn (2024), blends aggressive metalcore with pulsing hyperpop influences. In a surprise move this past July, BMTH released Lo-files, a reinterpretation album showcasing music from all eras of their career.
Operating in the realms of metalcore and nu-metal, Bad Omens have gained worldwide acclaim for their explosive live energy and visionary sound. Currently working on the follow-up to their breakthrough album The Death Of Peace Of Mind (2022), the band recently gave fans a taste of what’s to come with the release of their new single Impose.
Next summer, Apulanta and Provinssi celebrate a shared 30-year journey. A perennial fan favorite, the band returns to Törnävänsaari for a special performance. A cornerstone of modern Finnish rock, Apulanta continues to resonate with fans across generations through their uncompromising musical path and deeply relevant lyrics.
Representing the more progressive edge of the heavy music spectrum is Denver-based Blood Incantation, founded in 2011. Known for their psychedelic-infused, organic death metal, the band continues to challenge genre conventions, with their critically acclaimed album Absolute Elsewhere (2024) serving as a recent example.
The lineup also features Cemetery Skyline, a gothic metal supergroup drawing from the dark musical landscape of the North. The band’s members hail from iconic groups such as Dark Tranquillity, Sentenced, Dimmu Borgir, Insomnium, and Amorphis. Rounding out the first announcement is Witch Club Satan, a fierce, theatrically charged feminist pagan metal trio whose bold imagery and uncompromising message are sure to make an impact.
