Airuet
Airuet is a Helsinki-based melting pot of rhythm music – an eight-limbed rock laboratory from which nothing less can be expected than ferocious live performances and uncompromisingly distinctive songs.
If you’re still expecting something more, anticipate slow-cooked kraut jams and shoegaze walls, piercing hooks, bittersweet pop solutions and collective shouts of joy at simply existing together.
The band has been marinated in sweat, bad humour and questionable room air since 2022. Their second full-length album Ikkuna was released on 10 October 2025.
Nikita Titov
Nikita Titov is a Helsinki-based songwriter drawing from the world of indie rock. The music moves effortlessly from the euphoria of psychedelic folk rock to the melancholy of 1990s alternative. A strong affection for goth and new wave genres is clearly present in the sound. Titov’s gift for writing future classics has caught the attention of music aficionados ever since the very first single releases.
Co-production with Alt Agency.
Free concerts are held weekly on the Musiikkitalo summer patio from Thursday to Saturday throughout the summer, 29 May–1 August at 5 pm. See the full summer programme at musiikkitalo.fi/en/summer-concerts.
In case of rain, the concert will take place indoors at the Musiikkitalo Restaurant.

How about a cup of coffee, a bite to eat or a glass of bubbly during the interval? Order your drinks in advance to beat the queues and make the most of your concert visit. Interval refreshments are not available at all concerts.
Our location could not be more central or easier to get to. Almost all forms of Helsinki public transport stop right outside our doors, cycle parking is provided at all our entrances, and Aimo Park Finlandia, our nearest multi-storey car park, offers lift access directly to our main foyer.
At Helsinki Music Centre we are proud to be an accessible and welcoming place for everyone. Tactile handrails and signage have been fitted across the building, and there are tactile indicator strips on the floor too to guide partially sighted and blind visitors. Induction loops are always available, and guide or companion dogs are of course permitted within the building.
