Peruvian-born, raised in the US and now based in Copenhagen, Miguel Aliaga began his comedy career in Queens in 2022. His touring show has since travelled through Vietnam, Poland, Austria, Germany and Denmark, and now arrives in Tallinn. Wherever he performs, Aliaga finds an audience that recognises the feeling, whether they care to admit it or not.

Making their Estonian debut, Tampere’s Saitma bring raw, old-school riffs and fierce battle chants. Their releases include the Blizzard Tapes series and debut album *Okta*, released in October 2025, while their atmospheric sound has earned them a following beyond Finland. Tallinn’s Bestia join the bill. Active since 2000 and familiar faces at The Krypt, they draw on Estonian mythology and runemagick for pagan black metal that pairs raw intensity with haunting melodies.
