Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary Tour – Gig Diaries: Alhambra in Paris, 06.11.2023
About a week ago, I had my last rendez-vous with Poets of the Fall at l’Alhambra in Paris for the first show of their last leg from the 20th Anniversary Tour in Europe. This became my eighteenth Poets of the Fall concert since 2018. November 6th, 2023 was a day filled with memories and mementos forever engraved in my heart. A very special weekend full of laughter and new encounters. I met beautiful people I know I will meet again soon. I can say this: it is now official, a new Poets of the Fall French “gang” was born that day 🥰. They’re here “By a happy mistake…” I arrived…
Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary Tour, A Special Tone – Interview with Marko Saaresto
This week begins Poets of the Fall second leg of their celebrated 20th Anniversary Tour. For the occasion, Marko Saaresto graciously accepted to answer a few questions… again 🥰. Marko the wordsmith even during interviews… I cannot help but keep smiling at his answers. Thank you, poet! Now, even though I have planned to go to three more gigs this year, after reading Marko‘s answers, I feel this buzz within and, me, myself and I are jumping all over the place with expectancy for Copenhagen, for starters 💃. Anyway, less is more, so come and spend some quality time in the company of one of our favorite poets. 👉 Tickets…
Poets of the Fall – Back to Le Trabendo, Paris September 25th, 2022
How do you prepare for a Poets of the Fall gig? 🙃 Personally, I like to reminisce about the previous one I attended… It was a while ago, September 2022 in Paris at the brilliant venue Le Trabendo. The band who stole my heart years ago, playing in my home country – though I don’t live there anymore, could not miss them there so I went again. It has become a bit of a tradition. This is the third time Poets of the Fall performs on the French stage. This made the show even more special to me, as you can imagine. Le Trabendo Le Trabendo, happily situated in Parc…
Poets of the Fall – Le Trabendo, Paris
Before we start… this post will be updated with more pictures during the week, so make sure you come back to check them out 😆 and now, without further ado, Jari… drum-roll if you please! This is the second time this year that Poets of the Fall is visiting Paris to give my native country a show to be remembered. I might be slightly partial to the Finnish poets, but hey, that is what I am known for – partly 😛 . Jokes aside, I am starting this post as I travel towards Swedish airport, Arlanda. Today, is long grey day, but it is a good day. I’ve always wanted to write…
Poets of the Fall, from Stockholm to Paris with love
September 2018… this is when I planned this whole trip, so believe me when I say that the anticipation for the shows, first in Stockholm and then in Paris, have had time to build up. But as Harry said to Hermione: “When has any of our plans ever worked, Hermione?” My husband got stuck at home with a cold and a fever, I was starting to be sick too and I had to cancel my flight to France, to book another flight with another company to insure that I would actually arrive to destination (in anything but a Boeing 737 MAX). So whatever you plan, remember that life has its…
