ilosaarirock 
Sue Stage’s fourth act was a Polish progressive rock band called Riverside. Their timing could’ve not been any better as their smooth and beautiful sounds set the evening at Ilosaarirock 2014.
Progressive rock easily creates strong emotions on people. Riverside has the ability to smooth all stereotypes associated with progressive rock. Melodic but loyal to the scene, Riverside is easy to listen to and the music works well in the Finnish summer evening. During the gig, a deep harmony between the band and the audience was present and it all felt a bit magical. Talented and professional band members provide something for everyone. After the gig, happy and relaxed crowd left the Sue Stage. Riverside had made a lot more new friends.
