15.00-16.00 Nevala

Nevala is a Helsinki band formed by four former roommates, where friendship, timeless songwriting and pop genius meet in their music. The band's second album Take Me to the Honky Tonk explores liberation and wildness - whether spiritual, musical or in a cheap nightclub.
The album was recorded in a small log cabin under the direction of Väinö Karjalainen, and some songs were created on the island of Styrö off the coast of Gothenburg.
The Nevala quartet is accompanied by a band featuring Riku Sonkkanen, Kalle Outila and Adeola Ikuesan.
Location: Konttilava stage, Lower Malmi Square

17.00-18.00 Rosettes

Rosettes is an ensemble founded in 2021 in Helsinki, whose influences span various genres of rhythmic music. DIY spirit combines with soul and R'n'B groove alongside a jazzy atmosphere.

The psychedelic and danceable Rosettes has performed at events including Burghausen Jazz Week and Tavastia. Their latest vinyl single Souvenir/Green Ray was released via Timmion Records in August 2024, and their debut album Lifestyles on 4.4.2025.
