The legendary Iced Earth from Tampa, Florida (U.S.) is one of the most requested bands for this summer's festival, and when it became clear that they were available in Europe during the festival weekend, we saw absolutely no reason not to book them!

The band was formed in 1985 and has since then influenced thousands of bands worldwide with their unique sound and mix of thrash, heavy and power metal.

Iced Earth released their riff-heavy self-titled debut album in 1990 and has now the new album "Dystopia" out, and they are also out on the most comprehensive and extensive world tour in Iced Earth's history.

Since this is our third booked band from Florida, US in 2012, we really hope that they will bring some of the Florida heat to Falun in August!
