C-JAM & MAD “METALLICA” 🎻
July 16 at Kuressaare Kursaal
🔥 Enchanting summer concerts in a beautiful setting
Five men, four cellos, one powerful voice, and the best songs of Metallica!
Across eight beautiful concert and meeting venues all over our beloved Estonia.
What happens when four cellos and one powerful voice take the stage, bringing with them the music of one of the world’s most legendary metal bands? Something unexpected, powerful, and deeply moving is born.
The cello quartet C-JAM is a unique group of men who are not afraid to push boundaries and take on new challenges. In their hands, familiar music transforms into something entirely new – something that must be experienced with your own ears and seen with your own eyes. The idea of creating a concert program based on Metallica’s songs has been growing in their minds for years – now it finally reaches the stage.
Metallica is one of the most influential metal bands of all time, whose music has defined an entire genre and shaped the musical taste of multiple generations. Their sound combines power, melody, and raw emotion – from iconic riffs to ballads that have touched millions of listeners around the world.
Madis “Mad” Velström has been active as a vocalist in Estonian and Finnish metal bands for over 20 years. His journey began with Metallica’s songs, and now he brings them to the stage with the experience and charisma he has gained over the years.
This is not just a concert – it’s an experience.
Come and discover how Metallica sounds… differently.
Tickets available at Piletilevi.

What People are Saying
“Excellent Estonian restaurant”
Surely among the nicest restaurants in Estonia. Great scenery, friendly service, and excellent food from fresh local ingredients (especially the fish-based dishes are worth trying) for a price that is still affordable.
“Amazing castle view and great food”
We loved sitting outside and watching the sun set on the castle. The waitress was excellent. She was very professional and even offered to take our picture. My daughter loved her beetroot steak with quinoa and roasted veggies. My husband and I loved the bouilliabaise, which had a nice variety of local fish in a light tomatoe based sauce. I really liked that it was lightly flavored and not in a heavy sauce. Brought out the fresh ingredients. As always, some fresh bread too. Didn’t have room for dessert but the selections looked delicious.
“Excellent food and service with stunning views”
A wonderful water-side restaurant in front of the castle. The service was great and the food divine. Had the trout and whitefish to start with followed by the boar patties and flounder. Each dish comes with paired suggestion wines and you would be wise to follow them! A great culinary experience. If you like seafood and have a penchant for boar then Ku-Ku is a must-do! 🙂
“Pre-wedding dinner – wonderful!”
We hosted a dinner for 30 people here, the night before our son’s wedding. We live in the US and we arranged the dinner via email. It was easy to communicate, choose the menu, and get our questions answered. The location is a very romantic setting overlooking water and Kuuresaare Castle. We ordered antipasti, caesar salad, baked fillet of chicken with grilled vegetables and chanterelle sauce, cheese plate, individual desserts, coffee and tea. We also had a vegetarian dinner option. The food was delicious, everything was freshly prepared and very good. The servers were very solicitous and helped us with anything we wanted. (We have eaten lunch here as well). Lovely restaurant, great food, beautiful setting.
