The Virta clubs familiar from last summer will now continue on an even larger scale.

Kulttuuritalo Virtra's Vuoksi auditorium will be visited by a total of five artists during July-August for concerts under the banner of Virta clubs. At these relaxed events, you can enjoy versatile music as well as the unique landscape of Vuoksi. In the lively atmosphere of the backyard, the public can also use the services of the serving area.

- This year, in addition to the terrace platform, half of the grandstand also covers the serving area, describes the producer Juha Leskinen.

According to the event description of Virta clubs, genres are represented at the events from far and wide: rap, reggae, folk rock, snot hump and jazz are on offer. In addition, before each performance at 18 p.m., a half-hour long open mic section is organized at the venue, where anyone can freely perform if they wish. This summer's Virta clubs will be headlined by rap artist ASA & Band on Friday, July 4.7. at 19 p.m.

Tickets for gigs can be purchased online in advance via the Ticketmaster service. There is also door sales on site in the lower lobby of Kulttuuritalo. Entrance to the clubs is through the main doors; access to the Vuoksi auditorium via the cafe on the second floor.

The possible unpredictability of the summer weather does not affect the execution of the events.

- In case of rain, the performances will be moved to Virtra's indoor facilities, Leskinen says.

Relaxed Virta clubs are intended for the public of all ages - there is no age limit at the events.

- The drinking area of ​​the auditorium intended only for adults is clearly demarcated with signs, Leskinen says.

The immediate atmosphere of an open-air event, combined with the Vuok river flowing in the background, offers an idyllic setting for spending a summer evening with good music. The restaurant also serves after the concerts, so you can continue enjoying the weekend evening in the same scenery.
