Following a standout summer tour that included powerful performances at Wacken, Bloodstock, and Summer Breeze festivals, Ukrainian oriental/symphonic metal band Ignea is set to return to the UK and Europe this October as the main support for Eleine.
After touring Europe several times and releasing two full-lengths and two EPs independently, Ignea has gained a large fan base and released its third full-length, Dreams Of Lands Unseen (2023), dedicated to the Ukrainian travel writer and photographer Sofia Yablonska, via Napalm Records.
Ignea also proudly serves as a cultural ambassador for Ukraine, diligently raising awareness about the country's ongoing situation among its international fanbase. Link
