Satyricon to headline Hammerfest 2011

Black metal overlords Satyricon are set to headline the Saturday night at next March's Hammerfest.

The band will be conjuring a storm of limb-snapping, Norwegian wrath on the main stage in this rare UK appearance, which is a UK exclusive and marks a long-awaited return for the heavy-riffing extremist.

Also joining Satyricon and celebrating the release of their recently released album 'Ravenous', will be Swedish trad-metal stalwarts Wolf.

Hammerfest Promoter John Davis said, "We are really pleased with the line-up for this years event and have seen a massive increase in tickets sales which I think is partly down to the strength of last years event and the fact that all of our headliners are playing exclusive sets for us."

"We are expectingto sell out quicker than last year which sold out 2 months prior to the event."
