City Stage: Oulu 2026 presents

TMW is thrilled to welcome two coastal cities from our neighbourhood — the current European Capital of Culture Oulu 2026 (Finland) and the upcoming Liepāja 2027 (Latvia). From the frozen shores of the Bothnian Bay to the wind-swept Baltic coast, these cities bring their unique creative energy to our City Stage. Join us in celebrating the sounds and visions that define the cultural heartbeat of our region!

In Oulu, where cutting-edge technology meets the wild sea air of Northern Finland, a "Cultural Climate Change" is already in full swing. As this year's European Capital of Culture, Oulu celebrates a spirit that shifts from modern electronic beats on frozen seas to the endless light of summer nights. This transformative energy reaches the TMW City Stage too, as we welcome Oulu's homegrown talent to share the sounds of the North.
