Celtica is one of the most innovative and creative bands in Folk- and Celtic-Rock, they fascinate audiences from metalheads to grandmothers all across the world. More than 550 performances from Alaska to Hawaii, from Wacken to India, winner of Australian Celtic Music Awards as „International Artist of the Year 2019“, 5 Studio-albums, 2 live-double-CDs and DVDs with classical orchestra and huge choir are the impressive references of the band. In spite of the Covid-limitations Celtica could present in 2021 for the 1st time live on stage their current album “Celtic Spirits”. Without any doubt it is the best Celtica-album ever, with the mighty symphonic sound Celtica is famous for but also with more Celtic-Irish influences so it sounds brighter and more optimistic as the previous studio album “Steamphonia”. A clear improvement is the newest member of the band, Ernesto Góngora, one of the best bagpipers and whistle-players worldwide, winner of the All Ireland Bagpipe Solo Competition 2019. The Sound, the Show The majestic-mystic sound of the Great Highland Bagpipe elevates above the powerful rock band, influences of Irish Folk, Symphonic Metal, and even Gothic merge with the energetic Celtic music, full of lust of life. This sound and the spectacular show guarantee a concert no one will ever forget. Mystic torches on the bagpipes and burning drumsticks, thundering against huge drums, create a cultic atmosphere, flames, shooting out of the instruments, entertain every audience worldwide… That´s why Celtica is one of the most booked acts at Celtic-, Scottish-, Steampunk- and Medieval Festivals as well as at town festivals.
