Those of you who were there at Ilosaarirock’s Main Tent last summer when Olavi Uusivirta threw the gig of a lifetime will probably never forget the experience. The band and the audience were mutually high on love and lust in the fervent heat of that tropical summer night as Olavi Uusivirta gave their all – and then some more. Having witnessed the musical climax of 2018, everyone agreed that this lot are welcome back to Ilosaarirock any time.
Olavi Uusivirta is a wonderful combination of charisma, brilliant song-writing, masterful musical execution and the ability to completely let loose in front of an audience. It’s hard to imagine anything that would fit the summer festival scene better than this. Welcome back, Olavi & Co, we’ve been waiting for you!
