THE FLOWER KINGS 12 Oct 2023

The Flower Kings, familiarly nicknamed "FLOKI" and called YES of the new millennium by music critics, are a rock band playing art & progressive-rock. The group around band leader Roine Stolt was formed in 1994 after the enthusiastic reception of his solo album called "The Flower King". It was during the period when Roine witnessed the progressive rock revival in the 90s.
