Nevala

Nevala are a Helsinki-based band formed by four former roommates, whose music is a meeting of friendship, timeless songwriting and pop genius. The band’s second album Take Me to the Honky Tonk is about liberation and infatuation – whether they happen emotionally, musically or in a cheap nightclub.
The album was recorded in a small log cabin under the direction of Väinö Karjalainen, and some of the songs were written on the island of Styrsö off Gothenburg.
The Nevala quartet will be accompanied by a band featuring Riku Sonkkanen, Kalle Outila and Adeola Ikuesan.
Place: Container stage, Ala-Malmi Square

Psychedelic and danceable in their sound, Rosettes have performed at venues and events such as the Burghausen International Jazz Week in Germany and Tavastia here in Finland. The group’s latest vinyl single Souvenir/Green Ray was released via Timmion Records in August 2024, and their debut album Lifestyles was released on 4 April 2025.
