The Midnight Hour strikes in the winter nightscape of Helsinki, Finland on New Year’s Eve 2023 and Ville Valo takes the stage for Helldone in Tavastia Club to ring in the New Year. The atmosphere is electric as Ville Valo passionately seduces the cheering crowd with goth rock hits from his new solo album VV - Neon Noir, as well as fan favorites from his world famous ban HIM. Fans dance and sing along to the rock god’s sultry voice, the ladies swoon. The V-gram blazes on stage, while the Heartagram (symbol of the band HIM’s Love Metal music) casts its supernatural glow down from the ceiling.
