Ruisrock’s lineup of Finnish artists is growing stronger with the addition of major names such as Eppu Normaali and Nylon Beat. 

The charismatic Lily Allen is coming to Ruisrock! The artist’s latest album, “West End Girl”, has received praise from critics and audiences alike around the world – the album combines dark melancholy, pop melodies and hopeful moments of fleeting beauty. The artist seems to be everywhere right now – all her concerts for next year have sold out instantly, and additional concerts are being announced due to the huge demand. 

The audience in Ruissalo will get to hear the magnificent album in its entirety, in chronological order. The Ruisrock gig is one of only a handful of festival appearances the artist will be making in the summer of 2026.

Finnish lineup grows

A diverse selection of Finnish artists have also been added to the Ruisrock lineup. Eppu Normaali, one of the longest-running bands in Finnish music and a cornerstone of rock history, has been confirmed for the festival. Uniting generations, the band’s music and insightful lyrics can be heard one last time as their farewell tour arrives in Ruissalo. 

The iconic pop duo Nylon Beat will be seen at Ruisrock this summer after a break of more than 20 years. The audience can expect numerous mega hits, sing-alongs with catchy choruses and an explosive live show. 

The hip hop and rap lineup are complemented by Averagekidluke, who is racking up streaming numbers, Jore & Zpoppa, who are making a breakthrough, and Melo, who is following his own musical path. 

Jaakko Kulta delivers insightful storytelling and timeless Finnish rock melodies, Olga offers catchy dance-pop rhythms, while louna0nline creates hazy, ethereal soundscapes in the form of modern rap and hyperpop. The lineup is completed by HOKKA, a new rock band formed by Pauli Rantasalmi, Jimi Aslak and Joel Hokka from Blind Channel, whose music combines northern melancholy with a modern, dark rock sound. 

Artist performance dates announced and all tickets on sale

With this artist announcement, the festival’s still-growing daily lineup is now available and all ticket types for the festival are on sale at Tiketti.
