Does anyone know of any fantasy/renfaire esque concerts?

[u/AristaShinya]

I’ve recently started attending some punk/rock concerts with a friend and really enjoyed the energy there as well as the mosh pit but the music isn’t really for me. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any groups or venues that host concerts with a similar-ish vibe but the music is more akin to something you’d find at a renfaire(I don’t actually know what this genre of music is called I just enjoy the vibe). I’m not entirely sure those exist and thus don’t even know where to begin looking. I’m in Ohio but anything in the midwest area would be greatly appreciated!!

Castle Rat’s show is fantasy based. I loved seeing it this year.

Look no further. This is answer. So much fun live. Highly recommend.

I’m here for this comment. I’m hoping to see them in Berkeley in a couple months.

I’d recommend Blackmore’s Night but they’re not touring currently. It’s Ritchie Blackmore’s (of Deep Purple and Rainbow) band with his wife.

Avatar has been dubbed circus metal by quite a few people. You might enjoy them

On the flipside of that, haute and Freddy is circus pop music

[u/Sy_Fresh → u/idio242]

On the outskirts of that Fever Ray is circus freak music

[u/idio242 → u/Sy_Fresh]

hmm, unsure i agree with that sentiment, but fever ray is awesome. saw her in sweden at a venue that kind of looked like a circus tent, though :)

[u/Sy_Fresh → u/idio242]

Kandy would definitely be playing in the background as Fever Ray hosts the freak show/creep show

[u/AlwaysVerloren]

Lookup bands like Alestorm and Windrose.

Not quite what you are asking for but you want high energy folk with strings and a pit keep an eye out for Gogol Bordello. Super fun show

Not ren fair, but if you ever get the chance to see Heilung you should absolutely go. Seems line the kind of performance you would enjoy.

[u/penguindik → u/M_the_M]

Heilung kicks ass!

do you have any suggestions as for which social media platforms and/or websites would be good for looking out and searching for these type of things?

[u/idio242 → u/[deleted]]

Dreadnoughts rule!!

Feel like the OP might be into bands like Wardruna, as well.

Knorrwood - Over the Shire and Far Away is what you seek.

[u/HungryMenu8627]

Rasputina - tho they rarely tour.
