Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Helsinki celebrates it's 200th anniversary as the capital city and it's also the World Design Capital 2012 so the annual Helsinki Day tomorrow June 12 couldn't be but grand. And it is if you look at the artist list in the big open air concert to be held in Kaisaniemi park today from 3pm to 10pm: Chisu, The Rasmus, Erin, Poets of the fall, Happoradio, Herra Ylppö & Ihmiset, Lauri Tähkä and Reckless Love ! Sounds pretty fantastic, I kinda like them all!

It's still some weeks before YLE will announce the 11 artists who will join Amadeus Lundberg and the three artists selected by the open internet selection but this is as good time as any to start guessing who they could be... One possibility is Poets of the Fall. They have had a lot success a couple of years ago in Finland and abraod but it's been a bit quiet for some time. They will be releasing a new album next spring and I guess Eurovision would fit in nicely for its promotion! Here's their award winning video and biggest hit so far, Carnival of rust .
