CLAWFINGER Brings 13-Year-Old Fan On Stage For Do What I Say At Port Of Hell

At Port Of Hell on September 5, 2026, CLAWFINGER turned an already memorable festival performance into something truly special when 13-year-old Kira Kazbanova found herself on stage with the Swedish rap metal pioneers. Throughout the entire show, Kira stood in the crowd holding a sign that read: “Can I play Do What I Say and Catch Me on guitar? I’m 13 years old.” Rather than letting the moment pass by, the band noticed her determination and decided to give her the opportunity to step out of the audience and into the spotlight.

Kira’s request was simple, but the commitment behind it was anything but. She spent the entire performance making sure the band could see her message, putting herself out there in front of a festival crowd and asking for the chance to play alongside CLAWFINGER. When the opportunity finally came, she had to back up those words on stage, turning a bold request into a real performance. It was a remarkable moment that showed exactly what can happen when a young musician has the confidence to ask for an opportunity and the ability to deliver when it arrives.

The song chosen for the moment was “Do What I Say,” one of CLAWFINGER’s established live staples, while Kira also got the chance to play “Catch Me” on guitar. For a 13-year-old fan, sharing the stage with the band she had come to see was undoubtedly a moment to remember, but the story is just as much about the courage it took to make the request in the first place. Standing in a crowd with a handwritten sign is one thing; stepping onto a festival stage and actually playing in front of everyone is something else entirely.

CLAWFINGER may have arrived at Port Of Hell to deliver their own set, but Kira Kazbanova made sure the night became about something bigger than a regular festival performance. She asked, she waited, she stepped up and she played. At 13, that is one hell of a story to tell.
