The first-ever Tallinn Rock Festival will take place on June 27-28, at the Unibet Arena and its surrounding outdoor areas, in Tallinn. The festival will bring top rock and metal acts from around the world to Estonia. General ticket sales begin on November 11, simultaneously in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, and Sweden.
Headlining the festival are U.S. progressive metal icons Dream Theater and German thrash metal veterans Kreator. Fans can also look forward to performances by Finland’s gothic rock band The 69 Eyes, energetic Swedish rockers Royal Republic, and Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons, led by former Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell. The lineup is rounded out with the popular Estonian band Kosmikud.
The event will feature three stages: a main outdoor stage, a secondary C-stage outdoors, and an indoor B-stage, all located on the Unibet Arena grounds. The festival’s capacity will be capped at 10,000 attendees per day.
