Iltalehti checked the style choices of the Iskelmä festivals. Many were wearing printed t-shirts and hats.
Iltalehti is on site at the Iskelmä festival in Himos, feeling the festival atmosphere. Dressing up is an important part of festivals. The outfits show effort and originality, without forgetting, of course, more traditional summer dressing.
Several festival goers were wearing band shirts. During Thursday, Popeda and Vesterinen took to the festival stages with their bands, whose shirts were worn by the festival crowd. On Friday, on the other hand, Mariska, J. Karjalainen and Acid Radio. You could buy shirts from different artists at the event, so the number of band shirts increased during the evening.
