The legendary The Animals will arrive at the Grand Hotel Mustaparra Ballroom in Tornio in spring 2026.
The original line-up includes another founding member, John Steel. Danny Handley, Barney Williams and Norman Helm also play in the band.
”House of the Rising Sun”, ”We Gotta Get Out of This Place”, ”Don't Let Me Be Understood”, ”It´s My Life”, ”I Put A Spell On You”, ”Boom Boom” and ”Bring It On Home To Me”. On this hit list, The Animals are undoubtedly one of the most influential bands in the world. Among its prominent fans is Bruce Springsteen.
In 1964, a wave of energetic rock and roll swept over the world's youth, with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones - and of course The Animals, founded by John Steel and Eric Burdon - riding on its crest. The band got its name from its wild stage presence.
Although The Animals” onstage presence has since slowed down, the band, soon to celebrate their 60th anniversary, is still going strong and the legend is growing. Recently, Classic Rock magazine included the band's debut album on its ”50 Albums That Built Blues Rock" list.
