from the competition and was named “Ikitamperelainen”, a forever Tampere Person of the Year.

This year, Simo is hosting the Puistofiesta for the fourteenth time.

Aliisa Syrjä

Aliisa Syrjä is a singer-songwriter whose compositions and lyrics take you somewhere where the boundaries between sadness and happiness are blurred and the continental plates are rumbling underfoot. Aliisa, who has gone platinum and gold with her streaming singles “Tää tunne”, “2:02” and “Sydämetön”, lyrics, composes and co-produces the songs. The artist was selected for the YleX Breakthrough Listing in spring 2023, where she came in a stunning second place. Aliisa’s platinum-streaming debut album “Höyheniä ja saaria” was released in October 2023. At the 2024 Emma Gala, Aliisa was nominated in the Newcomer of the Year category.

Mentalist Jose Ahonen

Jose Ahonen’s performance is not traditional entertainment. It is an experience that provokes laughter, confusion and insight, and cannot be fully understood until it is experienced. Each show is a unique combination of psychology, humour and active audience participation.  Jose is an award-winning mentalist and writer who has captivated audiences around the world: both in live encounters and behind the screen, from Arto Nyberg to Good Morning America. He is a member of the Psychic Entertainers Association and his work has earned him the Finnish Magic Circle Emeritus Reijo Salminen Trophy for two consecutive years.
