Ravensdale is a medieval folk-inspired tavern band. The mountains and seas of Ireland feature heavily in their work. Ravensdale will open the Viking concert at The Portico. They are talented musicians and songwriters and play an array of recreated ancient instruments to form their unique sound.

Seidrblot are the up-and-coming band in the Nordic folk/shamanic genre.
