On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Tammelan stadion in Tampere will transform into a vibrant hub for Finnish rock as nearly 10,000 visitors are expected to flock to the much-anticipated "Manserock stadionilla" festival. The evening’s main event is the unique supergroup presenting itself as "Kaikkien aikojen Manserock-orkesteri" – a collaboration between some of the most influential names ever to shape the Manserock sound.
Star-Studded Tribute to Tampere’s Musical Heritage
The Manserock orchestra includes acclaimed vocalists such as Martti Syrjä, Pauli Hanhiniemi, Noora Louhimo, Heikki Hela, Jenni Mustajärvi, and Mikko Alatalo.

The band also features Kalle Alatalo (guitar), Aku Syrjä (drums), Sami Ruusukallio (bass), Kalle Ruusukallio (keyboard), and backing singers Nelli Petro, Kalle Ruusukallio, and Toni Lähteenmäki. On stage, the orchestra performs a generous selection of Manserock’s most beloved songs – promising both nostalgic retrospectives and fresh interpretations for fans both new and old.
The evening begins with the energetic DJ Tuomas of Finland, followed by the Tampere band NEGATIVE making their eagerly awaited return after a 13-year hiatus – a moment highly anticipated by their devoted audience.
The festival day also coincides with the major Kuninkuusravit event, which broadens the attraction of the festival and brings together both music enthusiasts and horse sport fans for the most dynamic event of the summer in Tampere.
