Helsinki & Tampere

So let´s start with my trip to Helsinki. This time my friend and me drove by my car, cause it´s cheaper to go by car than by train or bus and it´s actually much more comfortable since you can start driving whenenver you want and don´t need to look for the schedule.

Anyway, we drove to Tampere and went to Tampere-talo at first, then we drove to another friend of mine, where we had a sleep-over and on Saturday we drove more 1,5 hours to Helsinki where we visited more friends of mine and where I got another tattoo. =) I´ll post photos of the tattoo tomorrow.

After that we went to the Sunrise Avenue concert, which has been really amazing! So if you have the chance to visit one of their concerts, go there! It´s worth it!

Sunrise Avenue played in "The Circus" in the centre of Helsinki. It was really easy to find and if you go there by car you can park in Forum or Kamppi. They are usually not so expensive on weekends in the late evening / night. But maybe first look at the prices, they might change in some seasons.

The Circus is a really nice location, with bar and a cosy sitting area upstairs from where you can watch the whole audience downstairs and the stage of course.

The doors openend at 20:00 and the concert started at about 21:30. The waiting in front of the stage was a bit bad, especially with my new tattoo on my foot, but it was absolutely worth it!

Sunrise Avenue came on stage at 21:30 and the crowd went totally wild. There were young girls, teenagers, but also adults and older persons so it was totally mixed, which was really nice.

The band was into their music and enjoyed every second of playing. You could really see that.

They played all of my favourite Sunrise Avenue songs, which are:

- Fairytale Gone Bad

- Hollywood Hills

- I Don´t Dance

- Forever Yours

I don´t really remember the setlist of that evening, but I Don´t Dance, Fairytale Gone Bad and Forever Yours they played quite in the beginning of the show and Hollywood Hills was the last song I think.

Thanks to Sunrise Avenue for this great gig!
