The Event
LED Screens
We have the biggest screens in Tampere at the event. One screen is located outside and the other inside the tent. Thanks to the high quality of the screens, you can see the motion clearly in HD even in the brightest sunlight.
The games
Due to the time difference, we won't be able to show all the games, but you’ll see the best ones and those that fit best with the Finnish time zone. Because we are serving alcohol, the area becomes an 18+ area on game nights.

On Saturday, June 27, in Tampere, the well-known trio of Anitta Ahonen, Riku Suokas, and Heikki Vilja will take the stage, and on Saturday, July 11, the duo of Aatu Raitala and Tomi Haustola will leave the crowd breathless with laughter with their Naurumania Show.
