Ensiferum have revealed that they will be reuniting with founding vocalist/guitarist Jari Mäenpää for some special shows next year. The first confirmed date will take place at the Ragnaroek Festival. That event will be held on April 1-3 in Finland.

The band commented:

“We’ve heard you in the comments! You want us to play the old stuff. You want to hear the classics. Well… It’s time to give you some VERY exciting news. ⚔️🔥

Next year marks the 20th anniversary of “Victory Songs,” and we thought there would be no better way to celebrate than by going back to where it all began. We’re bringing the “Ensiferum,” “Iron,” and “Victory Songs” era back to the stage, but there’s more.

For the first time ever outside Finland, we will be joined on stage by the original singer and guitarist Jari Mäenpää. Together we are happy to present you:

ENSIFERUM FEAT. JARI MÄENPÄÄ: THE EARLY YEARS

We’ll be bringing The Early Years across Europe in 2027. And who knows… maybe even further. Let us know in the comments where you would like to see The Early Years! 👀

Time to dig out the old songs. We hope to see all of you celebrating the early years of Ensiferum with us! 🤘

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Only shows specifically marked “Ensiferum ft. Jari Mäenpää: The Early Years” and/or featuring The Early Years logo will include Jari Mäenpää in the lineup!”

Mäenpää added:

“I’m excited and honored to be joining Ensiferum for these very special ‘Early Years’ live shows! After more than 20 years, I’ll be performing with Ensiferum again. I can’t wait to sing these classic songs with you all. See you there!”
