Eppu Normaali farewell concerts in Tampere

Overview

Finnish rock band Eppu Normaali concluded its 50-year touring career with a three-night farewell series at Ratinan Stadium in Tampere. The sold-out events drew nearly 100,000 attendees and featured a setlist of over 40 songs from the band's extensive discography.

The performances were attended by notable figures, including former President Sauli Niinistö, his spouse Jenni Haukio, and current President Alexander Stubb. During the concerts, pianist Iiro Rantala joined the band to perform piano solos, which included an instance where he intentionally smashed an accordion on stage following the song "Pimeyden tango."

Over their five-decade career, Eppu Normaali has sold approximately 1.5 million records and received the Suomi-palkinto for their contributions to Finnish rock music. The band reported a profit of two million euros in its final year.
