Interpol and Anna Puu, among others, have been added to the music programme of Sideways, which will take place at Nordis in Helsinki on 8-10 June 2023. All ticket types are now on sale. 

Interpol, making their much-anticipated return to Finland, are one of the most important indie rock acts of the 21st century. The New York band, known for their dark-toned music, was last seen in Finland 15 years ago and in recent concerts they have played material from their "Antics" and "Turn On The Bright Lights" albums in particular. Their latest album "The Other Side Of Make-Believe" was released last year, and yes, Interpol is among the pioneers of their genre.

Also performing at Nordis will be Taiwanese synth pop group Sunset Rollercoaster, arriving in Finland for the first time and being on the rise, as well as electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani, whose music was enjoyed by a sold-out Temppeliaukio Church last autumn.

Fans who are eagerly waiting for more festival action will have their needs met when Anna Puu arrives to the Sideways stage for the first time. The artist, who has had a long career in Finnish pop, is currently working on their new album to be released next year. The domestic line-up will also be strengthened by Ursus Factory, dubbed to be one of the best Finnish live brawlers, and recent Emma nominee Antti Autio, who returns to Sideways with a string orchestra.

The dates for Sideways are now announced for the selected artists. Phoenix and Fever Ray will perform on Thursday night, Interpol on Friday night and M83 on Saturday. Concert dates for the remaining confirmed artists will be announced in early 2023.
