Join MOONSPELL for an unforgettable night of amazing songs and emotions.

"We all took a big fall with the COVID situation. It has been challenging to keep the band together and the fans motivated," says frontman Fernando Ribeiro. "Our legs were crushed but we are back on our feet and want to walk at your side again. We will not only celebrate the incredible 25th anniversary of one of our most fundamental albums ('Irreligious') but finally have the chance to unveil the absolute and quite powerful charm of 'Hermitage' songs on stage. It's MOONSPELL like you never seen us before. It's being together again. Our time has come."
