BLACK MAGICK SS will make their live debut at STEELFEST XV, taking place in Hyvinkää, Finland, from May 13–15, 2027. Festival organiser COMMANDER announced the band as the final addition to the line-up, describing the booking as one of the most extraordinary in STEELFEST's history.

The people behind BLACK MAGICK SS have largely remained out of public view over the years. Rumours, conflicting accounts and speculation have surrounded the band, while the possibility of a live appearance remained uncertain. STEELFEST XV is set to change that: the band will take to a festival stage for the first time ever.

In his announcement, COMMANDER emphasised that BLACK MAGICK SS's inclusion in the festival line-up carries particular significance not only because of the band's unusual status, but also because they were never an act anyone would have expected to see on a festival bill.
