Alexander Stubb and Aleksander Barkov attend Eppu Normaali farewell concerts

Finnish President Alexander Stubb and NHL star Aleksander Barkov attended the farewell concerts of the rock band Eppu Normaali at Tampere's Ratina Stadium. The band's final series of performances drew approximately 100,000 spectators over three shows, marking the end of a 50-year career.

During the event, Barkov received a particularly large ovation from the crowd of 30,000. Stubb and Barkov have a history of appearing together, including hosting the Finnish national ice hockey team and participating in the UN Women Finland campaign to combat violence against women. Former President Sauli Niinistö was also in attendance to honor the band.
