The artists 2024

These are the artists that you do not want to miss! Below you'll find the first artist announcements for Kyröfest 2024.

Pariisin Kevät

Pariisin Kevät has returned from a recording break that stretched over four years and will be arriving in Isokyrö this summer. The band consists of Arto Tuunela, Artturi Taira, Ilari Kivelä, and Antti Pouta. Since 2007, with a total of seven albums and dreamlike musical landscapes that dive deep into the soul, Pariisin Kevät has managed to evolve over the years without losing its distinctive style.

The band’s melancholic yet danceable music has captivated audiences with its catchy melodies and Arto Tuunela’s unique lyrics.

Antti Autio

Antti Autio is one of Finland’s most compelling singer-songwriters. His music blends poetic lyrics, deep melancholy, and captivating melodies. Autio’s songs lead the listener through delicate moments and powerful emotions, and his striking stage presence makes his live performances unforgettable.

He has released several critically acclaimed albums and has firmly established himself at the forefront of the Finnish indie music scene.

Juhlat

Juhlat, one of the most exciting indie bands in Finland right now, draws inspiration for its melodic guitar pop from early 2000s radio hits, Scandinavian melancholy, and American adult-oriented rock. The band’s long-awaited second album, "Yöllä taivas kaatuu", was released at the end of January. The group consists of singer/keyboardist Oona Laine, bassist Roni Ylhäinen, guitarist Arttu Kuoppa, keyboardist Pihlaja Mäkiranta, and drummer Eero Tarmio. Their music combines strong melodies, wistful lyrics, and diverse influences, creating a sound that offers listeners both comfort and hope

Asla Jo

Asla Jo writes Finnish melancholic pop about grief, girl love, loneliness, and growing up. Hailing from Ostrobothnia, Asla is a talented singer-songwriter who plays with interpretations of the Finnish soulscape and deeply personal experiences in her music. Asla Jo released her debut EP "Kaikki alko siitä mihin me loputtiin" ("It All Started Where We Ended") in November 2024.

Litku Klemetti

Litku Klemetti is a unique phenomenon in Finnish rock, blending punk, schlager, and cosmic rock into an energetic and unpredictable whole. The band’s frontwoman, Sanni “Litku” Klemetti, is known for her charismatic stage presence, flamboyant style, and distinctive lyrics. Litku Klemetti delivers a full dose of freedom, nostalgia, and rebellion – all wrapped in a package that defies definition and refuses to be boxed in.

Modem

MODEM is a duo creating decadently dystopian Finnish-language synth-pop, formed by Tytti Roto and Ville Valavuo. Their self-sufficient recording and release project began as a musical experiment inspired by drum machines, analog synthesizers, and a deep dive into Italian horror films and the Minimal Wave label's catalog.

Good boys

Good boys have been crafting high-quality and original rap for quite some time now—driven purely by willpower and vibes—and have carved out their own niche on the playing field of Finnish rap. Good boys is a must-see live, especially for anyone who claims to know what it’s all about.

Nössö Nova

Nössö Nova is a brand-new project by four longtime friends that began at the end of 2021. Originally from Pori but now based in Helsinki, the group quickly discovered the recipe for Nössö Nova—resulting in a harmoniously flowing form of escapism, moving from concrete jungles to tropical dreams. The sound blends flavors from around the world into light, straightforward Finnish-language pop. It’s not bossa nova – it’s Nössö Nova.

Paha Vaanii DJ

Paha Vaanii is a club concept, an institution and a way of life for DJ Laura Vartio and DJ Harvest.
The folk festival, which is familiar from Siltanen's Summer Sundays, among other things, entertains and enthralls with Finnish music. The set includes old and new, classics and forgotten gems.

the event will be hosted by Karoliina Tuominen

Karoliina Tuominen is an entertainment journalist who some people know and some people don't. You may have come across her black humor-filled social media account or listened to her on radio HitMix in the morning. She may also have been caught on the Apple Thieves (she says she wasn't there).

“They say the first time always hurts, but I think Kyröfest is an exception to the rule. I was immediately sold on the idea of ​​“a yard party, but make it a festival”, and I can’t wait to experience this warm atmosphere for myself with a cold cocktail in hand!”
