Lauri Haav

No Haav, no love – one of Ilosaarirock’s most requested artists, Lauri Haav, is rolling into Laulurinne this July!

In a crowd full of Finland’s top artists, there’s always room for someone as unmistakable as Lauri Haav. From day one, he’s stood out as a storyteller and vocalist with rare emotional pull, gliding so effortlessly between modern R’n’B, rap and pop that the result feels like a genre of its own. Haav’s lyrics hit both the personal and the timeless, and his instantly recognisable flow has carried him right to the place where Finland’s musical tides turn and new waves begin. In short: others do what they dare, Lauri Haav does what he wants.

On stage, Haav is even bigger than his hype – a crowd-whispering star whose songs aren’t just sung but lived through. And if you need proof of his live power: his biggest headline show yet, at Nokia Arena next November, sold out in a record-breaking 2.5 minutes. A trailblazer through and through.
