​
After a huge debut in 2025, Metal 2 The Masses returns to Cyprus in 2026, giving local bands another chance to take their music to an international audience.
​
HEATS: SUNDAY 8 & 29 MARCH
FINAL: SUNDAY 19 APRIL
SOEN: 12 June 2026 - Nicosia
Internationally acclaimed Swedish band SOEN will perform in Cyprus for the first time on Friday 12 June 2026 at Royal Hall, Nicosia, presenting a one-off headline show as part of their current international touring cycle.
​
Their sound blends progressive metal with a post-rock atmosphere, driven by expressive clean vocals and songs which stay with you long after the show ends.
The Cyprus show is designed as a complete live experience, where music and visuals move together to create an immersive atmosphere. Large-scale staging and a full LED backdrop will frame a performance that balances emotional weight with cinematic scale, bringing an international concert standard to a local stage for one night only.

We’re bringing iconic artists to our stage, creating a destination where music transcends boundaries,
connects cultures, and inspires
a new era of sound.
