The only gig of the artist Iben or Ilmari Kärki summer was seen yesterday at the Blockfest Festival in Tampere. Morning paper reported that the gig was visually impressive and well designed.
It was the artist’s first gig after he said in May 2024 that he would take a break.
The gig saw fireworks, explosives, fire, smoke and a variety of carefully designed visual elements. The artist appeared in a whole black leather outfit.
The stage saw a variety of mysterious characters, dancers. The artist told Aamulehti that they represent an emotional state or state of mind.
The key element on the stage was the speaker, behind which IBE performed, among other things, the songs Famous and Machine. According to Aamulehti, the stage arrangement sparked authority and the songs presented at the gig created a picture of the position of IBE in the rap field of Finland.
The magazine gives criticism mainly to the festival audience. According to the newspaper, the artist seemed more excited about the gig than the audience. However, it did not affect IBE’s performance on stage.
As a whole, Aamulehti states that the contribution to the visual of the presentation showed that IBE has recognized the value of its own art. According to the magazine, the whole thing brought to mind the show that was thought of at the end of the world stars.
In May last year, IBE canceled its entire summer tour.
– Unfortunately, I have to announce that I have to cancel my summer tour. I have been bad lately and I need time to rest and recover, the artist said on his Instagram account.
He then said that he had sought professional help and focused on his own well -being. In November he returned to Instagram and released the song November. He then actively updated again to social media.
