Concert memories: Imaginarium/Arena Tour highlights 2010

The 2010 shows were based on the first two albums and offered massive theatrical elements and maybe for that reason became huge fan favorites we all like to look back from time to time. The photo above was taken a few months before the Imaginarium tour ...

Concert memories: Brixton 2008

I can’t remember many details from this concert. The meaning and value of the memory comes partly from so many incredible and beautiful things I’ve experienced after my first gig experience. However, I will never forget how amazed I was by the ...

Concert memories: Parc des Princes (2008)

For some reason I haven’t earlier blogged about the Parc des Princes show in Paris 2008. Partly because it was an arena/stadium show and even I had a great seat I was so far away I don’t have much material to share. Partly because it was only ...

Concert memories: Coimbra 10/2010

I was hesitating a bit before traveling to Portugal to see Festa das Lata (10/2010) because it’s not the easiest destination to travel from Finland, the flights were expensive, and this was not a regular gig but a festival. I didn’t know any ...

Concert memories: Helsinki 7/2010

Concert memories: Amsterdam & Luxemburg 5/2010

The pictures are from the Luxembourg show (Rockhal 5/2010). The girls (Ida, Cherisse and iMMa) are having fun and dancing Kick Ass in the end of the show. You know, I love these concerts and usually I believe love is enough. I want my Mika moment and ...

Concert memories: France 4/2010

The ash cloud from the volcano messed my plans to travel to Barcelona, my flight was cancelled. I wanted to make sure I would be in France soon after that and didn’t dare to wait my flight in case it would have been cancelled as well so I took a ...
