Virve 'Vicky' Rosti (born 10 November 1958) is a Finnish pop and schlager singer whose career spans more than five decades. She first came to national attention in 1974 by winning the Finnish Schlager Championship at just 16, and went on to represent Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 with 'Sata salamaa'. In 1991 she co-founded the band Menneisyyden Vangit together with Freeman, a duo that has since become one of the most beloved live acts in Finnish popular music.
Menneisyyden Vangit celebrated its 35th anniversary with a kick-off concert at Tavastia, Helsinki, on 18 March 2026.
Rosti was announced as one of five headliners on the 'Viiden tähden' autumn 2026 tour alongside Marion Rung, Meiju Suvas, Ami Aspelund and Anja Niskanen.
Anna magazine (18/2026) reported that Rosti is preparing for the Viiden tähden tour in autumn and that Menneisyyden Vangit's 35th anniversary summer season is underway.
Rosti became a grandmother for the ninth time in October 2025 when her daughter Ella Rosti welcomed a fourth child.
A Seura magazine profile (June 2025) highlighted Rosti's more than 50-year career and her continued active touring schedule in retirement.
