FRANCESCO CAVALIERI

Francesco Cavalieri, also known as Durin VIII, is the powerhouse voice behind Wind Rose, the Italian band that’s mastered the art of blending epic fantasy with hard-hitting metal. They’re all about bringing dwarven stories to life that could easily fit into Tolkien’s world, making their music a hit with fans who love both metal and fantasy.

With Cavalieri at the mic, Wind Rose has crafted a sound that’s both powerful and poetic, earning praise for their albums that allure with epic tales and folklore. Their music doesn’t just sound great; it transports you to another world. The band’s reputation for energetic live shows has taken them around the globe, connecting with fans through memorable performances across the continents.

We’re thrilled to announce that Francesco Cavalieri will be the one from Wind Rose joining us at the Isle of Wonders – Cres festival. It’s going to be awesome having him share the journey and magic behind Wind Rose’s epic tracks. Get ready to dive into the tales that fuel their music, as well a full blown concert, straight from Francesco himself.
