For over 20 years, the Bavarian band Faun has drawn inspiration from medieval mysticism and Nordic sounds, establishing themselves as one of the global leaders in the realm of folk metal. On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the band will perform at the X-TRA in Zurich.
Medieval mysticism and Scandinavian sounds: With over 1,000 concerts, top-ten chart placements, multiple Echo Award nominations, and gold and platinum certifications, Faun undeniably ranks among the international elite of folk and medieval ensembles. Few bands manage to bring the timeless allure of ancient sounds to life in such a modern and captivating way as this folk formation – yet another testament to their exceptional influence in the music scene. Using harp, lute, hurdy-gurdy, and electronic elements, Faun creates a unique sonic symbiosis that complements their nature-inspired lyrics, inviting listeners to rediscover their connection to fauna and flora.
As a special guest, the Swedish pirate folk band Ye Banished Privateers will join the event. This 12-member group blends traditional folk and sea shanties with a modern, high-energy style, all while performing in the authentic pirate look of the 18th century.
