[KVÄÄR] is a unique and surprising series of events that invites the rainbow community and their allies to celebrate the joy and diversity of queer culture at Tavara-asema in Tampere.

✨ Artists

Kiukkupussy is sexy, cool, and ‘a little stinky.’ Narri Koira is the most jonne dude in Tampere and a regular at Vaakon Nakki. At May’s [KVÄÄR], you’ll have the chance to take the Tavara-asema stage in karaoke form! Kiukku and Narri will be your karaoke hosts, lead singers, and homosexuals for the night. Join us at [KVÄÄR] early in the evening for a wild karaoke session! (*Jonne = Finnish slang for a certain type of young guy, often associated with a specific subculture.)

DJ Koolla is an energetic and colorful DJ, host and drag artist based in Helsinki nightlife. Known for their encyclopedic knowledge of music, and strong passion for broadening the genres they play, Koolla is always ready to take on whatever excitable crowd awaits on the dancefloor, and is never afraid to push their limits. Get ready for an unexpected and explosive experience!

Prepare yourself for steamy and twerky ride on booty shaking basslines. RIMPELÄ & ARMAS are bringing you a blend of latintek, afrohouse, hyperpop, and the most delicious remixes. Come and dive into this dreamy and dirty fantasy <3
