UMK27

The highlight of the year is approaching – UMK27 tickets available Thu 1 Oct at 9:00 AM!

In Finland we have this thing called UMK… Experience the show loved by Finland and Europe, Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu, live at Nokia Arena in Tampere on Saturday 20 February 2027!

In February, Nokia Arena will transform into a pink UMK bubble. The UMK show will feature 7 spectacular UMK competition performances, as well as impressive opening and interval acts. Before and after the show, you can party across three floors at Nokia Arena until 2:30 AM. At the dress rehearsal, you can experience the show in advance, and the international juries will also score the performances.

Tickets for UMK27 and the UMK27 dress rehearsal will be available on Thursday 1 October at 9:00 AM. In recent years, tickets have sold out in record time, so be sure to act quickly. New this year: standing pits right in front of the stage!

Schedule: Saturday 20 February 2027

Over the past decade, UMK has grown into one of the most followed national selections in the Eurovision world and an increasingly important platform for Finnish music. UMK artists regularly feature on the charts for the most popular songs and albums, and many songs that have competed in UMK have gone on to become major hits both in Finland and internationally. Last year, almost 20,000 people experienced the UMK show live. Visitors came from all over Finland and from 26 different countries. Now you have the chance to experience UMK live!
