The Norwegian/Danish/German ‘enigmatic ritual collective’ Heilung will come to Maastricht on 6 June for an exclusive open-air concert. This special evening on the city meadow in the city centre promises a journey back in time, to dark and mystical primeval times full of pagan rituals. Heilung will bring along the Mongolian folk metal band The HU, the French blackgaze duo Alcest, the Dutch pagan/neofolk collective Sowulo and the Taiwanese metal-folk artist NiNi as special guests.

Heilung is known for its unique mix of archaic instruments, such as throat singing and ritual bells, combined with subtle electronic elements. The group, which describes itself with the term ‘Amplified History’, is inspired by ancient civilisations and thus creates an immersive, timeless experience. For a moment, visitors are taken to a world where the mystical and the unknown dominate everything and modern reality fades away.
