Mercyful Fate
For the first time in two decades, Danish heavy metal band Mercyful Fate were touring again in 2022. Despite being formed in 1981 and disbanded in 1985 due to musical taste differences, the band has been touring in Europe and in the US to rave reviews ever since concerts started to ramp up again in 2022. The band quickly became a Real Live Certified artist on LiveRate.
Eee Gee
Danish-born, Brooklyn-based indie singer-songwriter Eee Gee is mixing pop, soul, and folk together with astonishing results.
