Korpiklaani releases new video

Finnish Folk Favourites KORPIKLAANI are due to kick off their tour with MOONSORROW today. In celebration of hitting the road, the band have launched an animated video for the track, 'A Man With A Plan'. Check it out, here: https://youtu.be/bc0sJvtKrRM

After releasing videos for the tracks 'Ämmänhauta' and 'Lempo', which wind tales of witches and folklore, KORPIKLAANI now present a parody of themselves and their life on the road.

'A Man With A Plan' unfolds the tale of drummer Matson’s ability to sleep while standing up after drinking all night - told via a visually stunning animation.

Guitarist Cane explains: "This song is about our life on the road, the fun side for what we are known for. The lyrics are again also about Matson's planning ahead for his 'good' nights."

The RMIT University in Australia approached the band with a request to create the video as part of their studies, which the band were happy to help with and be a part of . The team spent 13 weeks working on the project with producers Aaron McLoughlin and Simon Norton, resulting in a charming and hilarious fully animated video! You can find all tour dates listed below, shows in Metz and Lyon have sold out already so get your tickets fast!

Vocalist Jonne Järvelä stated regarding the tour: "I am so looking forward to our fellow FFMM brothers, who for us are the most respected band in this genre of ours. This is a perfect combination of Finnish music and culture."

Fiddle player Tuomas adds: "Exactly, MOONSORROW bring the serious side of our culture and we bring in the balance by adding the festivity of midsummer nights."
