DIY & WTF Present: The return of Nordic Invasion

A London evening of Finnish music at The Old Blue Last, bringing together three acts that span electronic, pop and garage rock. London's DIY Magazine presents it with WTF.

DIY & WTF Present: The Nordic Invasion is a showcase of Finnish music staged at The Old Blue Last. London's DIY Magazine organises it with WTF, the Welcome to Finland programme run by Music Finland. The bill features three emerging acts with different approaches, from club-oriented electronics to guitar-led indie rock.

Glayden is an underground electronic act from Helsinki, combining experimental leftfield electronics, alternative rap and club energy. Malla, an actress and singer working in independent pop, has been active since 2008 and released a self-titled debut studio album in 2021; the project blends house, disco, synth-pop and leftfield electronic music. Us plays raw garage rock, indie rock and punk, drawing on a classic, unpolished rock'n'roll tradition.

The night is aimed at Finland's London community as well as the wider London scene, offering three distinct sounds from Finland under one bill. The Old Blue Last is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows.
