DIY is collaborating with WTF - also known as Music Finland’s Welcome to Finland initiative - for a special live showcase designed to highlight the vibrant and expanding music scene of the country. Scheduled for 26th November at The Old Blue Last, the event will feature four of Finland’s most unique emerging artists. From icy pop minimalism to vintage soul, DIY & WTF Present: The Nordic Invasion will provide a comprehensive view of what makes Finnish music so captivating in 2025.
Headlining the event are Maustetytöt, the cult pop duo known for their bittersweet lyrics and deadpan delivery, which have established them as icons of Finnish melancholy. They will be joined on the lineup by Bobby Oroza, the Helsinki artist famous for his smooth vintage sound; Louie Blue, the up-and-coming R&B-pop artist fusing polished production with introspective charm; and Grande Mahogany, a band rich in bluesy warmth and cinematic groove.
For Finland’s community in London, this is a unique opportunity to experience homegrown music live, while inviting the broader London audience to explore a different facet of Nordic music. Tickets for the event are priced at just £10 (plus fees) and are restricted to those aged 18 and over.
