Koskela's annual neighbourhood festival offers music, activities and food for the whole family. Performers include Knucklebone Oscar & King Kong International and Anna Kokkonen.
Knucklebone Oscar is a Helsinki-based singer-guitarist who has been performing since 1993, blending rockabilly, blues and the raw spirit of Little Richard into high-voltage rock 'n' roll. With ten studio albums, a full-length documentary film and Finland's representation at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, he is one of the most distinctive live acts in the Finnish rock underground. King Kong International is his full touring band; Mariko (MC Mariko of hip-hop duo Kwan) joins the lineup as featured vocalist, adding soul and funk to the mix.
Knucklebone Oscar released his first Finnish-language single in spring 2025, recorded with electropunk band 20 000hz.
The single 'Puuskutan hikoilen' appeared on streaming platforms in 2025.
Knucklebone Oscar & band feat. Mariko performed at Koffarin Kinofest in Sinebrychoff Park, Helsinki, on 16 August 2025.
Knucklebone Oscar released his album 'Uncle Knuckle' on 5 April 2024 via Stupido Records, followed by a Finnish release tour with King Kong.
The 'Uncle Knuckle' album features guest appearances by Marjo Leinonen, Eero Raittinen, Ina Forsman and Tuure Kilpeläinen, among others.
