Raskasta Joulua at Nokia Arena

Raskasta Joulua brings heavy-metal takes on Christmas classics to Nokia Arena in Tampere on 19 December 2026 at 20:00. The show is part of the long-running national tour and is scheduled to run until 22:00.

The programme gathers a rotating cast of metal vocalists led by guitarist Erkka Korhonen, with performers on this tour including Marko Hietala, JP Leppäluoto, Tony Kakko, Antti Railio, Timo Kotipelto, Elize Ryd, Tommy Karevik, Laura Ruusumaa, Antony Parviainen, Tuple Salmela, Pekka Heino, Ville Tuomi and Ilja Jalkanen. The band features Tuomas Wäinölä (guitar), Erkki Silvennoinen (bass), Timo Pudas (keyboards) and Mirka Rantanen (drums). Concerts on the tour pair heavy arrangements with an elaborate stage show; line-ups can vary by venue. Wheelchair tickets (including a companion) are sold through Lippu.fi; concerts are generally without age limits though some venues offer both all-ages and K-18 tickets and one date on the tour is entirely K-18. Organizer: Warner Music Finland.

The candidate adds ticket-sale timing ("Tickets go on sale Monday 4 May at 09:00"), plus door and VIP times (doors 18:00, VIP 17:30). The NEW event adds that the show is scheduled to run until 22:00, and reiterates Lippu.fi wheelchair ticketing details (including companion) and organizer (Warner Music Finland).
