No Upcoming Concerts
We're sorry, but we couldn't find any upcoming concerts for Heilung. Please check back soon.
Since its inception in 2015, the enigmatic ritual collective Heilung has been paving melodic paths to the past with their unique and mystifying sound. Evading all conventional genre tags and the confines of any specific labels, the group aptly self-describes their sound as “amplified history,” emphasizing their ability to connect modern society with the rudiments of humanity’s beginnings through music.
Heilung’s success has been unprecedented, achieving milestones in its few short years of existence that many do not see in a lifetime. The collective already had rapidly been growing a buzz upon the self-release of their first full-length, ‘Ofnir,’ in 2015, but their dizzying upward trajectory really took off from the moment they set foot on the stage at Castlefest in 2017 for the now-legendary debut of their live ritual. Luckily for those who were not fortunate enough to bare witness to this magical event, the full ceremony was captured on film, having since been viewed by tens of millions of fans across the globe.
As Heilung trekked across Europe and brought their mystifying experience to new audiences, talk of this new band and their stunning ceremony made way to Season of Mist label owner Michael Berberian, who quickly offered the band a record contract after seeing their undeniable musical impact for himself.
By 2019, Heilung launched their second full-length record, ‘Futha,’ which contrasted the masculine and battle-heavy themes of their debut with a feminine counterpart that celebrated fertility and female energy. Upon the first week of the record’s release, it graced the Billboard charts with coveted numbers, debuting at #3 on the Heatseekers Charts and #4 on the Billboard World Music Chart, placing on a total of seven Billboard charts while meeting critical-acclaim from the press on a global scale.
Having already made its way around Europe, Heilung announced its first ever North American tour for the start of 2020, which sold out entirely within 72 hours of ticket on-sale. The band later returned to the United States and performed their live ritual for a sold out audience of 10,000 people at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, CO (USA), further solidifying their early legacy status.
By this time, the band’s music started to appear in places outside the confines of music venues, videos, and vinyl. From hit television series like ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Vikings’ to video game giants like ‘Conqueror’s Blade VII: “Wolves of Ragnarök’ and ‘Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II’ to the blockbuster Robert Eggers film ‘The Northman,’ Heilung’s music has risen far above the underground and has transcended into a greater world. Even a global pandemic couldn’t slow down Heilung’s success; it only strengthened them and gave them the gift of time to complete work on album number three, ‘Drif.’
Amazing evening, good venue... Eivor the support band were awesome, wow beautiful voice. Heilung were amazing, the drummers have so much energy! Awesome ritual dancing/singing and story telling for nearly 2 hrs.. Heilung have been on our bucket list for while and we were not disappointed, Amazing!
I admit, im not entirely familiar with heilung, however my partner is pagan and i wanted to surprise him by taking him to see some of the bands he listens too and has always wanted to see. I snuck on his spotify and seen he listens to heilung the most. (I surprised him to wardruna last month and i expected something similar with heilung). ( wardruna were amazing, but that was seated only) What i got was a whole different experience, firstly this was a performance, the vibe of the crowd was positive, every single person was dancing, not just swaying side to side, but fully dancing, laughing, chanting, singing. I knew 2 songs from my partner and the ones i didnt, i was dancing with the crowd having the absolute best time of my life, and asking alot of questions to what i was seeing. i was in awe the whole time, taking in the music and listening to everything my partner was saying and why they were doing what they were doing for specific songs. Heilung sung each song with passion, it wasnt just a song, it was a story. the best way i described my experience was we were all a tribe, one family all coming together under 1 roof to have fun. Ive been to many concerts over the years (mainly pop) this was the best concert (ritual) ive ever attended, and the same with my partner, ive never seen him as happy as he was tonight. i left with 4 vinyls and a new heilung fan. Thank you for this experience ill never forget it, and thank you to the community for being so welcoming.
I have waited a long time to be at one of Heilung's rituals and I wasn't disappointed. The whole ritual is utterly mesmerising and extremely powerful. Consummate artists each and every single person on the stage. The whole ritual was a feast for the eyes, ears and soul.
Heilung are incredible and even more so live! Just WOW! Breathtaking performance from start to finish. A ritual to remember forever 🖤
