Kiirarock ready to fire up the dark Finnish winter 



With the vision to establish a brand new rock event in Tampere, students of the Tampere University of Applied Sciences started Kiirarock in spring 2014. One year later, the concept of the event reached a brand new level which will be supported by an artistically strong Line Up. With bands like Idiomatic, New Deadline and I/O, Kiirarock promises to fire up the dark Finnish winter.

“Nowadays music scene is driven by electronic dance music and rap which makes it hard for talented young rock combos. With Kiirarock we want to show people that rock is still alive and give them the chance to see the hottest domestic rock acts for a fair price in a cozy surrounding”, says Kiirarock organizer Carolin Büttner. And with the upcoming Line Up, Kiirarock features a great combination of energetic rock, impulsive live shows and melodic compositions.

I/O is a newcomer band from Tampere to watch out for. Inspired by progressive metal and rock music, the quartet is ready to conquer the Finland’s finest stages. The guys of New Deadline are already experienced in thrilling the listener in intimate clubs or the largest stages of the country. With their amazing confusion of Post-Hardcore and melancholy, New Deadline takes over the audience in a split second. The outstanding rock formation Idiomatic completes the Kiirarock Line Up. With deep melodies and catchy rhythms Idiomatic became one of the most popular local rock acts.

Skábma game project

“The story of Skábma is based on the Sámi mythology of The Celestial Hunt. The Celestial Bull Reindeer, Sarvvis, has been hunted through the ages by the Sons of Kalla from the constellation of Orion. If the hunters succeed in killing Sarvvis, the world will die. In the game, a young Sámi child, Áilu, gets mixed up with this endless hunt and accidentally initiates the end of the world.“ Students have been working hard over the summer with various projects and internships. One project in focus is project Skábma – Polar Night, originally titled “Kaamos.” A project which began during a game minor module in 2015, has now been developed into a fully-fledged project. The initial project was too big for the students to finish and they were unable to reach their goals. However, everything has a silver lining. Red Stage Entertainment then picked up the project several years later and are now working with some of the original creators. Skábma is a 3D low-poly game developed in Unity. The team of
