WinterStorm Rock Weekender
WinterStorm is delighted to confirm that Croatian rockers Jelusick have been added to the WinterStorm 2026 – StormForce X line-up.
The band will appear on Thursday 26th November 2026, joining the opening night of WinterStorm’s tenth anniversary weekend at Troon Concert Hall.
Fronted by Croatian vocalist, keyboard player and songwriter Dino Jelusick and made up of Ivan Keller on guitar, Luka Brodarić on bass and Nick Nikolaev on drums, Jelusick bring a formidable mix of modern heavy metal, hard rock power and world-class musicianship to the ’Storm. Dino has built a remarkable international reputation across his own work, all-star collaborations and major live projects, including time as a vocalist with Trans-Siberian Orchestra and as keyboard player and backing vocalist with Whitesnake.
Jelusick have released two albums, in 2023 and 2025, and have continued to build momentum with a series of singles, international live appearances and growing recognition from rock and metal fans around the world. The band’s official presentation describes 2026 as a major year of expansion for Jelusick, with further festival appearances, collaborations and international activity helping to push the band towards an even wider global audience.
WinterStorm have worked closely with Glasgow based Shock City and the band’s agency Full Metal Service to help introduce the band to the UK rock market and they have no doubts they’ll use the November event as the springboard that so many other bands previously have.
For WinterStorm, the addition of Jelusick brings something properly exciting to the opening night. Thursday is an integral part of the weekend, delivering full-on top-line rock ’n’ roll from the get-go, and 2026 already has the feeling of a statement night in its own right.
Jelusick join a Thursday line-up that already includes Bad Touch, The Commoners, Mostly Autumn and John Corabi on the Steve Strange Main Stage, alongside Gwailo, Ghostlamp, Not Now Norman and Heaven’s Reign on the Sessions Stage.
It is another strong addition to a tenth anniversary line-up that reflects the classic WinterStorm ethos: a multi-genre rock bill built on great bands and legendary artist adding to the already long list of international performers from all parts of the UK, USA, Canada, the Netherlands and now from Croatia..
