Vimma and Nature Tour

Vimma performs at Joensuu Main Library's music department on Saturday, 5 September, 15:00-15:45. Admission is free.

Vimma is a seven-member indie rock band where violins play a central role in their sound. The songs address climate crisis, activism, and humanity's relationship with nature - a soundtrack for the band members' activist backgrounds, alternating between harder rock and poignant moments. The music draws influences from indie rock and pop, as well as folk and hip-hop. In spring 2026, the band released the single Hei hei, a first taste of their forthcoming fourth album. The song explores the art of letting go and serves both as an intimate breakup song and a broader statement about change.

The band consists of Eeva Rajakangas (vocals), Pessi Jouste (violin), Roope Jokinen (violin), Kalle Outila (guitar), Aino Kallio (piano), Santeri Kettu (bass), and Vilho Louhivuori (drums). Previous albums include Meri ja avaruus (2019), Tornadon silmässä (2023), and Ei noi muut (2025). Tornadon silmässä received a nomination in the Critics' Choice category at the 2023 Emma Gala.

The concert is part of a nationwide nature tour funded by the Konestiftelsen foundation (Helsinki - Pori - Kuopio - Jyväskylä - Joensuu - Oulu - Rovaniemi - Äkäslompolo). Before the concert, from 14:00 to 14:45, the local branch of the Finnish Nature Conservation League hosts a discussion on local environmental issues in the music department on the third floor.
