Children Of Bodom reunited for two special shows in their home country, Finland. The melodic death and power metal band that has been celebrated for decades disbanded in 2019, playing their farewell concert in Helsinki at that time. Last year, the big memorial show was announced in the same city and quickly complemented by a second show on the following day after the first sold out in no time. In 2025, they said:
“We want to celebrate the life’s work of our band and at the same time honor the musical legacy of our friend and bandmate Alex. The concert will take place at the Tavastia Club, a venue that has always been very meaningful to Children Of Bodom – and it also fulfills a long-standing wish from our fans.”
Yesterday, the moment arrived, and the first concert took place as planned under the “A Celebration Of Music” theme. Alexander Kuoppala, Henkka Blacksmith, Janne Warman, and Jaska Raatikainen from the original lineup returned to the stage for two nights, joined by Samy Elbanna from Lost Society.
