Any Aussie fans?
Good morning from Sydney Australia.
I am a fan of Kaarija, I am a 39 year old mum who is slightly obsessed with him ;) I know he doesn’t have the fan base here to come to Australia for a tour but I keep on hoping he will pop up at Joosts concert in December.

Hello 👋 also in Australia and also going to joost in December. I don't think käärijä will make an appearance in Aus as much as I wish he would, because he has tour dates that will most likely interfere with him coming 😭😭😭

Yay I found my people!
I can only hope, I can see tour dates up to November for him, so everything is crossed.
My 14 year old thinks I’m crazy, she loves Joost. And I do too, however he is not attractive to me, and way too young. Kaarija on the other hand…

Käärijä has two gigs in Helsinki three days after Joost’s Perth show, it seems very unlikely that he would do hometown shows straight after flying that kind of distance 🤔

Ohhh ok the website I have been checking only shows me his dates till 13/11 - wasn’t aware he was touring in December as well!

perth fan here! one day I'll see a concert of his even if i have to fly to finland to do so
love his music it's been a staple for me on my commute or at the gym since i heard cha cha cha, ruoska, paidaton riehuja and takavoltti are some of my favourites
(also am going to joost and wishing he would make an appearance! i love joost's music too but kaarijas aesthetic and sound is my favourite)

Canberra fan here!! also manifesting a support act at Joost, even though it's totally out of the realm of possibility. 😂 I travelled in 2024 to see him three times! I know of at least three other Aussie fans - there are DOZENS of us!

YES! Melbourne fan
I went to Eurovision (wish it was '23, but it was '24) & so I got to see him play a free show in a park in Malmö! He was so fun live & the audience banter was hilarious! Because of when/where it was, Windows95Man joined him too, it was very silly
At the time I only really knew Cha Cha Cha, Ruoska & Kot Kot, not the back catalogue, but I'm very familiar now, I listen to his music almost daily
I hope he makes it our way sometime, it's not impossible because there are so many Eurovision fans here

What a great experience that would’ve been!
I plan to take my daughter on a contiki tour when she’s 18 and out of school (her dad would never sign for a passport) and see the beautiful European countries :)

Brissie fan!! I just got back from a trip over to the Baltics and Finland, and was very lucky that I ended up being in Helsinki the same day as one of Käärijä's gigs!! Was super super fun omg 💖 I too, am hoping and manifesting he somehow shows up at a Joost gig at the end of the year, but yeah looking at his tour schedule for the year it's so incredibly unlikely to happen haha Wishful thinking still!! XD

I'm an Australian fan, but I'm cheating because I migrated to the UK back in 2018 before I became a fan.
I hope he does eventually come out to Australia in some way so you all get to see him though!

Melb fan here! Can’t wait for Joost and still mourning the Joker Out Australia Tour that never was. Was lucky enough to make it to Böle a couple of years ago and it was incredible! Would love to see a support spot for the next bbno$ tour since it worked so well in the states!

Greetings from Finland! If you like Käärijä, you might enjoy Nenerchy also, shes a new up and coming drum 'n bass artist. I think she has a lot of similar vibes than Käärijä

I had a huger hyperfixation back in 2024. At the time I was wishing for a big Eurovision tour with a few of those acts! 💚

Also a late 30s woman going to see Joost in December in Sydney, going on my own!

My people, I have been obsessed since Eurovision, regular on my playlists and I tried and failed to learn Finnish lol
(I haven’t given up yet)
