Beast In Black and Gloryhammer book Bogart's for March 17

The Finnish metal band's 2027 North American headline run stops in Corryville on a Wednesday night in March, with tickets already on sale.

St. Patrick's Day in Cincinnati usually means green beer and crowded bars. This year it also means a Finnish metal band headlining Bogart's.

Beast In Black plays Bogart's on Wednesday, March 17, 2027, with Gloryhammer opening. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are through Ticketmaster. Bogart's holds 1,500.

The date was announced October 27, when the band laid out a February–March 2027 North American headline tour. According to Blabbermouth, the run opens February 11 at The Underground in Charlotte and hits The Masquerade in Atlanta the following night. Local presales began October 29 and the general on-sale followed October 30, so if you are reading this on the morning of November 5, tickets have already been moving for most of a week.

For readers who don't know them: Beast In Black is a Finnish band led by guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen, and the past year has been about a new record. In April 2026, Kabanen sat out the band's North American tour with Helloween to finish the album, Blabbermouth and The Metallist reported, citing "constant distractions, challenges, deviations and problems" in getting it done. In Europe, Eventim covered a large 2026 tour with that album in the pipeline, and the band is booked into the Helsinki Ice Hall on December 5, 2026, per promoter Fullsteam.

That is the context for why a 1,500-capacity room is a good get. A band booked into an arena at home is playing a club-sized room here, with Gloryhammer in tow.

The two bands already have a working relationship. Nuclear Blast announced Beast In Black and Gloryhammer as co-headliners of the "Glory and the Beast" tour in 2024, and Belgium's Ancienne Belgique was among the stops. This time Gloryhammer takes the opening slot, so Cincinnati gets a bill that has been road-tested overseas.

Why Bogart's? It sits between a small club and a theater: big enough for a touring metal package with production, small enough that the back of the floor still feels like part of the show. For a midweek date in March, it is a sensible size for a band building its American audience one headline run at a time.

When to buy: now, if you want to be sure. Presale and on-sale have both passed, and there is no announced second Cincinnati date. The 7 p.m. start also means an early night by Short Vine standards, which on a Wednesday is not the worst thing.

If you have been waiting for a reason to spend St. Patrick's night somewhere other than a pub, this is a loud one.
