It’s crazy, it’s party! Finnish 2023 Eurovision representative Käärijä will be Cha Cha Cha-ing his way across Europe and has announced details of his upcoming tour which will kick off in Stockholm on 14th October.
“People are so thirsty and hungry, that we had to give something to Europe”
Eurovision 2023 runner-up, Käärijä (real name Jere Pöyhönen), has released details on Instagram of a European tour taking place later this year and is so far set to perform eight shows across seven different countries. He has recently been seen this summer at dozens of gigs and festivals across his native Finland but was aware of the huge demand to tour outside his home country. He stated in a recent interview on Finnish TV channel MTV Uutiset that “people are so thirsty and hungry, that we had to give something to Europe too” following the tour announcement.
Tickets are set to go on sale on July 13th at 10 am local time. Further information on tickets is expected to be released on Live Nation Finland’s Instagram. Details on tour venues can be found on Warner Music Finland’s Instagram.
