Manowar to return to Estonia for two exclusive concerts in 2025

 

In a thrilling announcement for heavy metal fans, legendary American band Manowar are set to return to Estonia for two exclusive performances at the Pirita Monastery in Tallinn. The concerts will take place on June 13 and 14, 2025, as part of their “The Blood of Our Enemies 2025” tour.

Fans will be treated to two distinct performances over consecutive nights, each featuring a full-length performance of a different iconic album. On June 13, Manowar will play their 1984 album Hail to England in its entirety, followed by a selection of their greatest hits. The following night, on June 14, they will perform another 1984 classic, Sign of the Hammer, alongside fan-favourite anthems. These two concerts will be Manowar’s only performances in the Baltics.

The shows will take place in the atmospheric ruins of Pirita Monastery. Manowar’s bassist, Joey De Maio, shared his excitement about performing in Estonia once again: “The band and crew fell in love with Estonia the moment we first set foot here. These two epic concerts in the majestic atmosphere of Pirita Monastery will be magical! We will capture this special night for the world to see.”

The idea for these concerts has been in the making for over 12 years. When De Maio first visited Tallinn and toured the city, he was captivated by the monastery ruins, expressing his desire to perform there. Now, that dream is finally becoming a reality.
