Description was written before the event

The cultural association Paskakaupunni rf organizes Hässäkkä-Päivät on July 3-4 in Oulu at Välivainios Tukikohta. The festival is Northern Finland's largest punk, hardcore, and alternative guitar music event, running since 2007 - except for the COVID year 2020.

The 2026 headliner is American hardcore punk band ZEKE, known for their intensely driven rock'n'roll. Founded in 1992, the band is touring Europe again in 2026, and Hässäkkä is the tour's only Finnish date - their last domestic performance was in 2018. Other performers include the domestic nerd punk flagship Teini-Pää, Swedish heavy metal quartet Nightmärr, Kovaa Rasvaa, and punk rock band Vessaisä.

Gates open Friday at 17:00 and Saturday at 15:00. All tickets are exchanged for wristbands at the door.

Friday: Bad Jesus Experience, Debris, Dispose (SWE), Influenza, Mofetron, Molbo (NOR), Rock Siltanen Group, Suitsuke, Teini-Pää, Vessaisä, Viimeinen Virhe, Zeke (USA)

Saturday: Constant Pain, Dart, The Handshake, Konventio, Korruptio, Kovaa Rasvaa, Kärsimys, Lokit, Meatwash, Nightmärr (SWE), Punio, Stolen Kidneys, Taikatalvi

Opening and closing club nights are also organized around the festival - the club programme will be announced later.

Accessibility: Assistants get free entry with the assisted person's ticket. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has an accessible toilet. There is no wheelchair ramp.
