The artists 2026
These are the artists that you do not want to miss! Below you'll find the first artist announcements for Kyröfest 2026
Vesta, one of the most prominent singer-songwriters and musical artists of the younger generation, is known for her insightful and socially conscious lyrics as well as her emotionally powerful compositions.
Karri Koira is one of the most beloved voices in Finnish hip hop and modern pop. Known for catchy choruses, sunny grooves, and a warm stage charisma, the artist has gathered numerous hits and a loyal audience across Finland over the years.
Yona is known for her bold and unique way of blending different musical genres in her work. Her songs are characterised by a personal touch, strong emotional intensity, and cinematic scope.
Windows95man is a well-known entertainer, artist, radio host, dancer and model, appreciated both in Finland and internationally. He rose to wider public recognition after representing Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with his debut single No Rules.
Having released four albums, Lyyti has captivated audiences across Finland in recent years with her dazzling band. She is known for songs that resonate with listeners of all ages, as well as for her vibrant live performances that bring the stories in her music to life.
At Kyröfest this year, we’ll see and hear a special performance by Eevil Stöö celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Iso vauva Jeesus album! The cult rapper’s iconic album is hitting a milestone, and we’ll get to enjoy this unique show in August. A true original of Finnish rap with over two decades in the game, boasting chart-toppers and even a Teosto Prize to his name.
Figaro is an ambitious ambassador of Finnish psychedelic pop, whose new album Taivaankappaleet was released in February 2025. Self-produced by the artist, the album steps into the same canon as acts such as Pariisin Kevät, Saimaa, MGMT, Gorillaz and Tame Impala.
Lala Salama is a dynamic rock trio peaking at the upper reaches of Richter’s local magnitude scale, unsuccessfully trying to evade its growing international cult status. The band is known for its unapologetic sensitivity fused with a thunderous wall of distortion.
Stepa, often described as the voice of Northern Finnish rap, will entertain the crowd at Kyröfest. This long-standing artist knows why the caged bird sings, and his lyrics often explore everything that makes life under the sun so damn dope!
Malla has been shaping the Finnish music scene with her distinctive style, blending house, disco and electro-pop. Drawing inspiration from analogue synthesizers and drum machines, her captivating rhythms feel right at home on club floors and radio waves alike, and next summer also at Kyröfest.
Bobomobile is devoted to high-speed post-punk mayhem, charging forward with aggressively driving rhythms, unapologetic ’80s swagger and dangerous disco elements. Expect saxophone solos, buzzing synthesizers and relentless, chugging riffs – all packed into one breathless, high-intensity experience.
Effortlessly blending catchy melodies with raw guitar sounds, Aaro630 represents the voice of a brooding generation while redefining Finnish rock music. At the artist’s and his band’s live shows, chaotic rock energy and dark-toned lyrics leave a strong impression on the audience without any unnecessary gimmicks.
Ullalintulampi brings together the fragmented pieces of everyday life into a single, hazy blend where gentle comfort and electric chaos intertwine. Their music expresses overwhelming sensitivity and an untamed, surging drive. The lyrics draw inspiration from everything from dust floating in the air to poetry found in different corners of cities.
MC KOO returns to Kyröfest! A veteran of Finnish hip hop whose shows are packed with energy a firework display of good vibes that doesn’t end until the very last track.
Described as a project-based, surreal and delightfully off-kilter band, the group is a dizzying multi-sensory experience. Rättö’s astonishingly abstract lyrics wander through beeping ’80s-inspired sounds, grooving basslines and minimalist musical textures, resonating deep within the central nervous system.
A defining feature of the band is their tendency to reference the far ends of their ever-shifting influences. Maybe today they jot down a rhythm inspired by Kate Bush in their phone notes, tomorrow something reminiscent of Ultra Bra, and on Sunday a chorus in the spirit of PMMP. At times everything feels fragmented and even a little quirky, and that’s exactly where the charm lies. Every word and every note matters, or at least that’s what Hopeasiivet believes.

Good to Know About Kyröfest
For ten years now, Kyröfest has taken over the courtyard of Kyrö Distillery at Oltermannintie 6. What started as a slightly over-the-top backyard party has grown into a proper celebration. We’ll wrap up the night in style with a fireworks show lighting up the sky between 01:00 and 01:30.

You’ll find several waste stations around the area with containers for the most common types of waste. Our cleaning teams will be circulating throughout the festival to keep the area tidy and to help with sorting if needed.

At Kyrö, we recognise our impact on the environment and actively work towards more sustainable event practices. Let’s do our part together and make sure every piece of trash finds its way to the right place.
Deposit System
The deposit system is one of the ways Kyröfest aims to reduce its environmental impact.
It works simply: when you buy a drink, you pay a small refundable deposit. Once you return your empty cup to a bar point, the deposit will be refunded to your card.
The deposit encourages festivalgoers to return and recycle their cups, helping to reduce waste and support more sustainable event practices. When thousands of people gather to enjoy music and good company, a significant amount of waste is inevitably created. The deposit system helps manage this by offering a small financial incentive to recycle.
If you lost something during Kyröfest, please contact us by email at visit@kyrodistillery.com to inquire about lost items.
