WCH is an
independent, unofficial organization, that arranges metal events
and small tours regularly - once in 1-2 months. WCH was founded
in Summer 2000. The purpose of WCH is to bring the metal to the
people but also to help smaller bands by giving them a possibility
to show their talent on stage.
The
things we guarantee to provide for every band, if needed, are
| - |
Full
backline & PA equipment |
| - |
Accommodation |
| - |
Food
& drinks |
For Finnish bands we always cover the travel costs, but for foreign
ones we must consider the financial side in each case separately.
Sometimes it works out, sometimes not – mostly depending on
how reasonable it is to bring the band to Finland. However, many
things are negotiable so don’t hesitate to ask!

most significant events WCH has arranged so far:
