Ilta (Ilta Elina Silva, born 1996 in Jyväskylä) is a Finnish singer-songwriter signed to Warner Music Finland. She first caught public attention as the guest vocalist on Cheek's 2015 hit 'Sillat', and has since built a devoted following with emotionally direct pop - earning two gold-certified albums, sold-out shows, and appearances on Vain elämää and UMK.
Ilta released her third studio album 'Jokaisen hymyn takana' on 6 March 2026, recorded with a live band in the studio.
The album release was accompanied by a 15-city concert hall tour across Finland, Ilta's first dedicated concert hall run.
Tickets went on sale in June 2026 for the autumn Ystävä-kiertue, a club-venue tour celebrating friendship and connection.
The single '20:30 feat. Karim B', released ahead of the album, reached the Spotify Finland Top 10.
