IN FOCUS// The Rasmus at Rock City, Nottingham

The Rasmus is a Finnish band that’s been around for over two decades and remains one of the most popular bands in Europe.

In 2022 the band represented Finland in the Eurovision song contest. On the 30th of October, The Rasmus came to Nottingham. According to the band’s frontman Lauri Ylonen, Rock City is one of their favourite clubs to perform.
