Where: Mikkeli, Finland
I should tell
you that the event went great and many people came to see it. The concert took
place in the harbor, really close to the city center of Mikkeli. Among the
groups, which were singing on the first day of the event, were: Osmos Cosmos, Ressu Redford ja Neon 2:n Jussi, and the headliner of the evening
was a very famous in Finland Finnish band Yö.
A few words
about those groups… The band “Osmos Cosmos” opened up the event at 7:30 p.m.
(Finnish time). It performed its own songs and a lot of covers. I saw people
dancing, drinking, dancing and dancing again, and, of course, singing along. Later
at 9:30 p.m. another band came up to the stage and started its performance.
People were happy to hear them as there were many hits from the 90’s. Well,
yes, there were plenty of covers as well, for example, “The final countdown”,
“Raising up my family”, and many more. But people were so excited to have some
fun despite the bad weather. And then at 11:30 p.m. we finally had a chance to
see the headliner of the festival, Yö. This band performed its own songs and
basically most of its hits (definitely, this time is not enough to perform them
all). Among those songs were “Pettävällä jäällä”, “Kiitos ja kunnia”, and many
more. The audience was happy and everybody was singing along and dancing. The
event ended at 0:45.

There were many
sponsors of the festival, for example, Sokos Hotel Vaakuna, Länsi-Savo, Radio
Mikkeli and others. So, there was a huge interaction between them and the
audience, i.e. people could get enough information about the forthcoming event
and enjoy the way it was organized. Moreover, there is Day 2 coming up tonight,
and Mikkeli is expecting to have more of Finnish music stars.
To sum up, I
should mention that Mikkeli is becoming more and more important for the country
as many events take place in it and more visitors are coming each year. So, I
would recommend visiting Mikkeli and enjoying everything, and simply having fun.
