Warkaus-Sali´s Spring Programme 2025
Composer Olli Lindholm Thu 27.3.2025 at 19.00
Composer Olli Lindholm
What do the songs Särkyvää, 20 centtiä, Ihmisen poika and Jukeboksin luona have in common? They are all masterpieces composed by Olli Lindholm, drawing deeply from the Finnish mental landscape.
Olli is remembered as a personal interpreter and energetic stage performer in the bänd Yö. In addition, he composed many classics of Finnish popular music during his lifetime. The lyrics of the songs in this concert are written by Olli himself, Pauli Hanhiniemi, Heikki Salo, Eija Hinkkala and Juice Leskinen. The music will be performed by the most famous Finnish rockers.
Singer-guitarist Markus Salo competed victoriously with Olli's team in the Voice Of Finland in 2019 and dedicated his victory to the late champion in a live TV broadcast. Mikko Kangasjärvi and Jari Latomaa worked with Olli for decades as musicians and record producers.
The show lasts about 2 hours, including intermission.

Sami Hedberg - 20 Years Anniversary Tour Fri 28.3.2025 at 18.00
Sami Hedberg celebrates 20 years of stand-up career with extensive tour
Sami Hedberg, who kicked off his career with an explosive victory in the 2005 Get up, stand-up competition, will celebrate 20 years of comedy with a year-long tour next year. The first part will take place in the spring of 2025, when the 20th anniversary show will arrive in 20 locations around Finland.
The show will include both new stories and old classics, and may also feature stories from over the years.
"Stand up came to life a bit out of the blue when I took part in the Get up, stand up programme in 2005. I got hooked on the first laughs and that's the path I'm on. Winning gave me a confident and really enthusiastic feeling that made me dream bigger and bigger all the time," says Hedberg, who is currently on the He's Back tour after a year off from gigging, about the start of his career.
Since then, Hedberg has risen to the top of stand-up through his own Hedberg Live production company, producing thousands of events across Finland. One of the biggest turning points in his early career was when the performer became an artist and his first fully dedicated Kokovartalomies show saw the light of day. The show eventually ended up on DVD (2009) and expanded into successful tours. Since then, career highlights have included a sold-out Hartwall Arena in 2013, a 365-show 365-show tour in 2015, which is still in the Guinness Book of World Records, and the first stand-up show in Tampere's Nokia Arena in 2023.
Hedberg's career has also included films and TV series (including Luokkakokous movie and Masked Singer victory).
"I've always seen myself on stage at the age of 70, so there's a bit more than another 20 years to come," Sami says of his future.
Duration approximately 2 hours, including intermission.

Lång Live Kirka Vol2 25.4. at 19.00
Lång Live Kirka Fri 25 April at 19.00
Through the songs of Kirka, one of Finland's most legendary star artists, you can travel back in time to past decades. Tenor Marcus Lång's voice is versatile: the range extends from strong rock interpretations to delicate atmospherics. The rich vocal interpretation of Kassu Halonen's compositions and the translation of songs made famous by Kirka make the concert unforgettable for the listener. The repertoire includes both well-known hits and lesser-heard gems from Kirka's output, ranging from ear-catching ballads and hit songs to tight rock tunes. The band, who have paid homage to the original compositions, have once again updated their repertoire, and it promises to be a great night as Kira's songs take flight and soar to the heights they deserve.
