A few days after the end of Golden R. Festival 2026 and the launch of ticket sales for next year’s edition, the festival organizers announced the first two major acts confirmed for 2027. Below are the official announcements for GUTALAX and ALESTORM.

THE WAIT IS OVER! 

 “The crushing GUTALAX are arriving in Greece for a one-time only, EXCLUSIVE live performance at Golden R. Festival 2027! 

The band we’ve all been dying to finally see at an open-air festival on Greek soil! You asked for an endless concert party, and we are bringing it straight to the beach of N. Anchialos with the Czech grindcorers and absolute kings of the mosh pit!

And this is just the beginning—the very first announcement for GRF2027!”

“GRF proudly presents the absolute lords of pirate metal, Alestorm, in a performance that will go down in history!

This is not just another concert. This is the first time the Scottish band will perform at an open-air festival in Greece, and their only exclusive appearance in our country!

From Clubs to Headlining Europe’s Biggest Festivals!

Alestorm need no introduction. Within a few short years, the band has skyrocketed in popularity, turning their pirate tales into a global phenomenon:

Headliners & Main Stage Heroes: From Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Copenhell, to Metal on the Hill and Summer Breeze, Alestorm now perform as headliners or major main-stage acts at the biggest metal festivals in Europe.

The Ultimate Live Machine: With sold-out arenas of thousands of fans on every tour, they have rightfully earned the title of one of the most explosive, entertaining, and influential live acts on the planet!

A Venue Literally Built for Alestorm!

If there is one place in the entire world that should host this titan in an open-air setting, this is it. The Golden R. Festival venue in Nea Anchialos is literally tailor-made for them:

Overlooking the Pagasetic Gulf: One of the festival’s four borders is the sea itself!

Pirate mosh-pit on the shore: We will be singing “Drink” and “Keelhauled” with the breeze of the Pagasetic Gulf and the waves crashing right beside us.

The Ultimate Experience: Forget indoor clubs. Alestorm are coming where they belong… right by the water, ready to set sail with us!

“Grab your pirate hats, get your inflatables ready, and let’s write history at the most ‘seaside’ metal party ever thrown!”

And this is only the beginning—just the second announcement for GRF!”
