CELESTY now have a new frontman, with previous singer Antti Railio having recently been replaced by Tony Turunen – brother of former NIGHTWISH frontwoman, Tarja.
CELESTY’s latest offering, ‘Vendetta’, came out in 2009, and saw the six heading deep into symphonic / progressive rock territory, with tracks such as ‘Lord (Of This Kingdom)’, ‘Like Warriors’ and first video ‘Fading Away’ showing that musical ambition doesn’t have to lead to any loss of power.

The Finnish sextet will open the forthcoming Boneshakers 2010 Tour; a run of five UK shows, alongside epic heavy metal (Finnish five-piece KIUAS) and authentic folk metal Estonian quartet METSATOLL.

KIUAS, who have played in the UK on a number of occasions, including an appearance at the Bloodstock Open Air Festival plus a full run of dates with FIREWIND, will headline all of the shows, with METSATOLL providing the meat in the middle, and CELESTY (who have also featured on the Bloodstock bill) opening the bill.

The tour marks the first time that three acts signed to the Spinefarm label will embark on a series of UK shows in tandem.

The full list of UK dates is as follows:-

October 2010:

20th – Wrexham, Central Station
22nd – Sheffield, Corporation
23rd – Glasgow, Ivory Blacks
24th – Nottingham, Basement
26th – London, Underworld
