In April, Music Finland's WTF – Welcome to Finland showcase will make its debut at Tallinn Music Week with six amazing acts: Goldielocks, Misha, Tinyhawk & Bizzarro, Emilia Sico, Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio, and Muovipussi. This time we have partnered up with the copyright society Teosto, and the event takes place at the F-Hoone Must Saal venue on Thursday, April 9th.

WTF is Finland? Perhaps the happiest country in the world—or so they say. Despite the long winters, deep dark forests (read: alcohol), and Santa Claus, Finland has carved out a unique place in the global music scene. It's a country with the highest number of metal bands per capita, and it's home not only to some of the world's finest classical musicians but also to incredible pop artists, songwriters, and world-class producers.

WTF is also Welcome to Finland—a showcase event and an excellent opportunity to discover Finland's hottest new sounds. This time, we bring the party to Tallinn Music Week, presenting six amazing acts from Finland: Goldielocks, Misha, Tinyhawk & Bizzarro, Emilia Sico, Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio, and Muovipussi. The night is hosted by Music Finland and Teosto.

Move your eyes down just a little bit and find out all about the acts at WTF x TMW Showcase!
