Event Introduction

A long-time favorite of the Helsinki Festival audience, Ricky-Tick Big Band & Julkinen Sana returns to Huvila. Led by Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen, this high-octane engine—pulsing at the intersection of jazz, hip-hop, funk, and soul—has been performing to sold-out venues with a refreshed lineup. In the autumn of 2025, the charismatic F (Fanni Sjöholm) joined the top-tier collective. The group’s core remains intact, featuring veteran rappers Paleface and Tommy Lindgren, backed by the big band’s expansive, precise, and effortlessly groovy sound. As a skilled rapper and singer, F brings a new perspective and color to the band, updating their look and sound for the present day.

Ricky-Tick Big Band was founded in 2010, and their shared journey with the Julkinen Sana lyricists began with the album Burnaa in 2013. Following their decision to disband in 2019, the ensemble is now making a long-awaited comeback with new energy and material – the first single “Konttori auki” was released in September 2025, ahead of the full album coming in April 2026.
