Akon will perform at the Helsinki City Festival this summer.

The Helsinki City Festival will perform in June.

The iconic hip-hop star suddenly replaces Adam Lambert, who has passed his gig. Lambert was attached to the festival’s main performer.

– Our annoyance was great when such a cancellation only happened less than two months before the event. We were in a hurry to find a new artist, but we experienced a real kick when we heard that Akon was free. At the same time, this is Akon’s only European gig during the summer. In addition, his reward is higher than Lambert, says the festival promoter Kalle Keskinen in the bulletin.

– In general, the organizers tend to save the artist when the artist is canceled, but we did otherwise. However, we believe that Helsinki City Festival Tickets will be sold out, Keskinen continues.

Helsinki City Festival will be held from 13th to 14th. June at the Helsinki Ice Hall.

Sean Paul, Hurts, Afrojack, Sugababes and Finnish stars, including Kaija Koo, Jenni Vartiainen And the return is the Fintelligens X Capacity Unit and the Bomfunk MC’s.

Akon appeared in Finland last time in the summer of 2023 at Blockfest in Tampere.
