On April 13th, 2024, we had the opportunity to witness live performances by two outstanding Finnish rock bands – MERTA and AVACIA – at Nirvana in Turku.
AVACIA, hailing from Turku, kicked off the evening with a solid and lengthy set. Led by the charismatic vocalist Jori Saloranta, this trio is well-known to the local audience, performing extensively across the country and recognized as one of Finland’s most promising emerging artists. They certainly lived up to expectations in Turku, effectively warming up the audience for the headlining act.
Taking the stage after a brief intermission, MERTA, an alternative rock group from Tampere, emerged as the stars of the night. They immediately connected with the audience, which included dedicated fans who sang along to every song, thoroughly enjoying themselves. MERTA‘s performances are hard to resist, offering a delightful journey through light alt-rock and casual, infectious music with an irresistible vibe.
