Finnish metal powerhouse Stam1na will celebrate its 30-year career with the Dirty Years 2026 Tour this autumn and early winter. The anniversary tour includes 18 shows in total and kicks off in the band's hometown of Lemi on Friday, 23 October. The tour will also visit Espoo, Helsinki, Tampere, Turku, Oulu and Jyväskylä. Tickets are on sale now.
Having recently released its eleventh studio album Apnea, Stam1na will also take a look back ten years during the anniversary tour. Released in 2016, Elokuutio is one of the band's most beloved albums, and its material will play a major role in the autumn concerts. Fans can also expect rarely performed songs from throughout the band's career, along with surprises for longtime followers.
"The dirty asphalt warriors are hitting the road again! This autumn's dress code is orange and black. On this tour, we're celebrating not only the band's 30th anniversary but also the 2016 album Elokuutio. We'll be playing extremely rare material, plus even some cover songs. Personally, I'm especially looking forward to the opening show in Lemi ... after all, that's where all this madness began."

"On rankkaa olla tonttumies”
The Joulukalenterin alkuperäiset näyttelijät palaavat kulttiklassikon pariin! Legendaarista televisio-ohjelmaa juhlitaan joulukuussa Espoon Sellosalissa järjestettävässä juhlanäytöksessä.
Vuonna 1997 ensiesityksenä saanut The Joulukalenteri on kasvattanut kulttisuosiota vuosien mittaan. Useita kertoja uusittua ja myös netissä suureen suosioon noussutta komediasarjaa juhlitaan Espoon Sellosalissa joulukuussa 2026, kun sarjan alkuperäiset näyttelijät Seppo Korjus, Kari Lehtomäki ja Raimo Smedberg osallistuvat The Joulukalenteri -juhlanäytökseen.
Juonnetussa tapahtumassa kuullaan Trio Saletin muistoja sarjan tekemisestä ja tarinoita kulissien takaa.

Tapahtuman päätteeksi järjestetään Meet & Greet -tilaisuus, joka sisältyy pääsylipun hintaan.
The Joulukalenteri perustuu tanskalaiseen komediasarjaan The Julekalender (1991). Sarjasta tehtiin norjalainen versio vuonna 1994, jonka pohjalta suomiviihteen grand old man Jukka Virtanen (1933-2019) suomensi ja ohjasi sarjan suomalaisen version.
Parodisessa joulukalenteriohjelmassa vanha tonttu Iki-Iäkäs (Virtanen) on kuolemaisillaan, sillä hänen elämänsä sävelmää soittava soittorasia on pysähtymässä. Iki-Iäkäs lähettää kolme tonttua, Toivon (Lehtomäki), Kaukon (Korjus) ja Handen (Smedberg) Suomeen hakemaan soittorasian avaimen Keuruulla sijaitsevasta vanhasta luolasta. Tontut kohtaavat useita ongelmia ja saavat per...

During the session, children are guided towards free dance expression through play, working together and experimentation. Children take part in the workshop primarily on their own, but an adult may remain in the room if necessary, should the child be feeling very nervous.
No previous dance experience is required for the class. The focus is particularly on the courage to express oneself physically and on experiencing the joy that this brings. There is a small quiet corner in the room where children can read or do other activities if the dancing starts to bore or make the little dancers feel nervous.

Welcome to an open, non-sectarian meditation group that brings meditation into the daily life of Espoo residents. We meet on Sunday mornings from 10 to 11 AM in whichever space the library designates at the time – usually in the group room Kajuutta or the larger stage area next to it.
The purpose is simply to sit together in silence for 45 minutes. This is not a therapy group, nor a discussion or teaching session. After the session there is time to catch up. We begin right after the library opens. The floor is carpeted wall-to-wall. The style is free. The library provides chairs and some cushions, and you are welcome to bring your own cushion as well. Meditation takes place as part of the library’s everyday life, so background sounds and occasional passers-by are part of the experience.

Neljä muusikkoa, kaksitoista instrumenttia ja kahdeksan laulettua kieltä – Berio101 -sarjan toisessa konsertissa kuultu Folk Songs saa BFP:n (ent. Bergå Folk Project) käsittelyssä aivan uusia kierroksia!
Berio syventyi kansanmusiikkiin yhä perusteellisemmin 1960-luvulta lähtien. Hän matkusti pitkin Sisiliaa viikkoja kerrallaan, äänittäen vastaan tulleiden katukauppiaiden lauluja. Beriolla oli kansanmusiikkiin vahva emotionaalinen suhde – se oli loputtoman inspiraation ja yllätyksien lähde. Häntä kosketti sen yhteys jokapäiväiseen elämään, työhön ja musiikintekemisen tapaan. Hänellä oli omien sanojensa mukaan ”utopistinen” tavoite luoda ykseys taidemusiikin ja kansanmusiikin välille, ja pyrki tähän elämänsä loppuun asti. Lopputuloksena syntyi paljonkin teoksia, joissa kansanmusiikki on vahvasti läsnä, mutta tuskin missään niin selvästi kuin Folk Songsissa.
Berion avantgarde-lasien läpi syntynyt teos on saanut vankan aseman nykymusiikin kiistattomana klassikkona. Mutta mitä tapahtuu kun suomalaisen kansanmusiikin kovimmat tekijä tarttuvat näihin versioihin ja muuntavat ne uudelleen kansanmusiikiksi? Alun perin Helsingin kaupunginorkesterin Kohtaamisia-klubille tilattuun sovitusurakkaan ja muusikoille aiemmin vieraaseen Folk Songs -teokseen BFP tarttui kauhunsekaisin tuntein – mutta lopputulos on huikea. Kappaleet jaettiin bändi...

EMMAn ja KAMUn yleisöopastus: Painotalosta näyttelykeskukseksi
Näyttelykeskus WeeGee on suunniteltu 1960-luvulla painotaloksi. Painokoneiden ja kirjanpainajien sijaan rakennuksen täyttää nykyään taide, historia ja kulttuuritapahtumat.
Opastuksella tutustutaan Aarno Ruusuvuoren ainutlaatuiseen arkkitehtuuriin, WeeGee-rakennuksen erityispiirteisiin sekä työntekoon kirjapainossa.
Millaisia muutoksien ja käytön jälkiä löydetään rakennuksesta vielä nykyäänkin? Entä miten rakennus vaikuttaa tänä päivänä tapaan kokea ja esittää taidetta ja kulttuuria?
Kierroksella päästään kurkistamaan myös tavallisesti yleisöltä suljettuihin WeeGee-talon tiloihin.
Opastuksella kuulet näkökulmia WeeGee-talosta sekä EMMAn että KAMU Espoon kaupunginmuseon oppaan kertomina. Yhteistyössä Näyttelykeskus WeeGeen tiimin kanssa.

Although it may feel today as though we live in a constant flood of images, this has not always been the case. During the Middle Ages, people are estimated to have seen only about five images in their lifetime. Today, we are "bombarded" with images from every direction, and we do not necessarily stop to think about what we are seeing. Yet everyone remembers the images that are meaningful to them: a photograph of a firstborn child in their mother's arms, a picture of a graduation certificate, or a photo of an impressive public artwork encountered while travelling abroad.
The Espoo Artists' Guild is organizing a Pecha Kucha event where professionals from the visual arts field will present images from their own lives and artistic practices. Through these images, it is possible to reflect on how even creative professionals stand on one another's shoulders and how other people's images have influenced their work. The "Images of My Life" Pecha Kucha event aims to explore whether common themes can be found among the images that have shaped different professionals in the field, or whether the idea of a shared artistic identity is merely a myth. The presentations will take place in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and audience members will have the opportunity to participate in an Open Mic-style question-and-answer session after the presentations.
The speakers are Krista Mikkola (curator), Leena Hoppania (Head of Cultural Services, City of Espoo), Sini Majuri (glass artist), Heidi Linsen (textile artist), Kirsi-Marja Moberg (poet and visual artist), and Antti Minkkinen (painter).

Nyt käännetään uusi sivu - next chapter.
Linman & Co lähtee uudelle kiertueelle täysin uudella show’lla, päivitetyllä ohjelmistolla ja entistä kovemmalla tasolla.

Bändi koostuu kokeneista pohjanmaalaisista muusikoista, joista useat ovat osallistuneet suosittuun A Tribute To The Eagles-kokoonpanoon, joka on täyttänyt konserttisaleja ympäri Suomea ja Ruotsia. Laulaja Patrick Linman tunnetaan muun muassa Place 2 Gosta, Euroviisusta, Voice Of Finlandista, A Tribute To The Eaglesista sekä Sturm und Drangin lauluntekijänä ja managerina.

The Local Championships is a low-threshold competition event for elementary school-aged children where you get to run, jump and throw!
The events include sprinting, long jump, and ball throw. You’ll receive a result for each event, and by completing all three, you’ll earn a prize. Instructors on site will guide and encourage you during the events, so no previous experience in athletics is needed. The competitions start at 16, so it is important that you arrive no later than 15:30.
You can register for the event in advance on our website or on-site at the information desk. Before the competition begins, pick up your race number at the information desk. Participants will be divided into groups at the start of the competition. The events will be performed with your group under the guidance of an instructor, meaning that after your own performance, you’ll get to cheer on the others before moving on to the next event.
Before leaving the event remember to pick up your prize from the info. Welcome to athletics!
We speak finnish, english and persian.

Evening Club: The What-What Musical – An Improvised Musical Fairytale for the Whole Family
What kind of musical will unfold today? Who will be the hero of the story, and what adventures await along the way? In this performance, the audience gets to help shape the musical that Music Improvisation Theatre Sointi creates on stage. The entire story, including all the music, is invented in the moment and inspired by audience suggestions.
Music Improvisation Theatre Sointi specializes in fully improvised musical theatre, where music, singing, and movement play a central role in storytelling.
The performance is best suited for children aged 3 to 6, but audiences of all ages are warmly welcome.
The show is performed bilingually in Finnish and English. The two languages flow naturally side by side, and the story can be followed even if you understand only one of them. Music and movement enrich the storytelling through their own universal languages shared by everyone.
You are welcome to bring your own evening snack to the club. Please note that there is no separate café service available.
Duration: approximately 40 minutes
Tickets: €10 + service fee (from €1.50)
Kaikukortti tickets: Available through Espoo Service Points.

Come celebrate Baby’s Day on September 25 at Lippulaiva Library in Espoonlahti! This free event for families with children includes concerts suitable for babies and toddlers, a light bath, and a poetry spa for babies. At the same time, you’ll get tips on creative activities you can do at home and through the city’s cultural services.
Program:
10:00–10:30 a.m. | Sinfonietta Quartet: Lie-Down Concert | Salonki
The Tapiola Sinfonietta string quartet will play a half-hour concert featuring familiar classics and other fun pieces.
Children may listen to the concert while lying down or lounging on mattresses or sitting on their parent's lap. The concert is suitable for all children and adults – and it's completely free!
10:30 a.m. - 11.00 p.m. | Poetry spa for babies | Salonki
Babies need to be stimulated in their own mother tongue. Babies love to play, and they love snappy rhymes and the rhythm of poems – which, according to research, also stimulates their brains!
Through poems and nursery rhymes, babies have their first literary experiences.
Give your child the gift of melodic language! Welcome to a world of poems and nursery rhymes!
Instructor: Pirkko Ilmanen, Espoo city library
11:15 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | Light Bath | Salonki

KULPS, preschool and grades 1–3
A Christmas-themed children’s theatre performance where old decorations get a new life.
A Santa hat, gingerbread cookies, a Christmas tree with candles – and of course new lovely ornaments. In Salli’s opinion, Christmas just isn’t real without them. But what can she do when Grandpa refuses to buy new decorations, the tree candles accidentally break, and the elves are watching Salli’s rather silly behavior? Christmas is ruined!
Fortunately, Pietu the soft toy mouse wants to help and lures Salli into an imaginative Christmas adventure. During their journey, the friends learn what it means to “pay it forward” and what gingerbread cookies have in common with a true Christmas.
Salli and Pietu, familiar from Theatre Tuomikko’s play The Great Adventure, continue their imaginative games in this charming Christmas performance that creatively uses puppetry and the logic of children’s play. The show reminds us that a real Christmas is not made of new things, but from a kind heart.
Script, puppet design, set design, and performance: Terhi Tuomikko
Music: Marko Häkkinen
