Rising to cult status with her debut album, Asla Jo released her first full‑length Papin tytär in early 2026. On her album‑release tour, she sold out six shows in addition to Tavastia. Asla Jo describes the record as a painful ode to loneliness and an autofictional coming‑of‑age story.
With a rapidly devoted fanbase and strong praise from music media, Asla Jo writes Finnish nostalgia‑pop about sorrow, girl love, solitude and growing up. Signed to Kaiku Entertainment, the skilled singer‑songwriter plays with interpretations of the Finnish emotional landscape, blending them with her own lived experiences.
Hailing from Ostrobothnia, she released her debut EP Kaikki alko siitä mihin me loputtiin in autumn 2024. Her spring 2025 single Pussailen tyttöjen kaa (I Kiss Girls) became a major TikTok success, earning acclaim for its honest, delicate lyricism and its spotlight on the tender fault lines of queer youth. She has also gained a reputation as an exceptionally present and affecting live performer.
Opening the evening is Saga Olsson! Saga Olsson is a rising Finnish pop‑rock artist whose music blends catchy melodies, the sweeping atmospheres of alternative rock and poetic Finnish‑language lyrics. Known from the playlists of YleX and Radio Suomi, she brings an energetic live set where a powerful band sound meets infectious pop‑rock.
The Tampere‑born artist’s music has been described as fresh, surprising and musical. Her latest single was voted YleX’s Kansan Teho track on the day of its release, and her anticipated debut album will arrive in autumn 2026. Several of the songs will be heard among the very first audiences at this show.
Cloakroom fee 3 € included in the ticket price.
