The legendary The Animals are coming back to Malmitalo!

“House of the Rising Sun”, “We Gotta Get Out of This Place”, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, “It’s My Life”, “I Put A Spell On You”, “Boom Boom” and “Bring It On Home To Me”… With this hit list, The Animals (UK) are arguably one of the most influential bands in the world. Bruce Springsteen is one of their most prominent fans.

In 1964, a wave of energetic rock and roll swept the world’s youth, led by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones – and of course The Animals, founded by John Steel and Eric Burdon. The band’s name comes from their wild stage presence.

Although The Animals have since slowed down on stage, the music of a band about to celebrate their sixtieth anniversary is at least as powerful as ever, and their legend is only growing. Recently, Classic Rock magazine included the band’s debut album in its “50 Albums That Built Blues Rock” list.

John Steel is one of the two founding members of the original band, who is joined in the current line-up by musicians Danny Handley, Barney Williams and Norman Helm.
