Ares

The new wave of Finnish rap is alive and well – especially in the hands of Ares. Having burst onto the scene back in 2021, the artist recently dropped his highly praised sophomore album APATHIA, which didn’t just dominate the Spotify charts but had Finnish music fans completely hooked. Tracks like Menestys on paras tapa kostaa, Iha miten vaa, and Kokonainen paint a picture of a multi-talented and multi-layered storyteller – the kind of voice you’ll want to sit around for years to come.

Live, Ares’s tight, precise and endlessly relevant sound transforms into a powerhouse performance, driven by his undeniable stage presence. You, your friends, your mum, your cousins and everybody else is going to want in on this. Don’t miss Ares’s Ilosaarirock debut!
