Local favourites bring club-night energy to relocated Lanson Champagne Bar & Lounge
8. JULY 2026
Filled with champagne, playful bubbles and beloved gems of Finnish club music, the Lanson Champagne Bar & Lounge charms with its beautiful setting in a brand-new location this year. The weekend’s non-stop atmosphere is shaped by collectives from Helsinki’s club scene: on Friday, the much-loved Paha Vaanii takes over; on Saturday, Culture CTRL steps up; and on Sunday, Guilty Pleasures brings the secret indulgences to the dance floor.
The enchanting atmosphere of Lanson Champagne Bar & Lounge reaches new heights this year, as its move to a new central location allows captivating club sets to continue uninterrupted from the moment the gates open until nightfall.
On Friday, 14 August, the Lanson Champagne Bar & Lounge soundtrack will be curated by the Paha Vaanii concept. Known for its dancefloor guarantee, joyful energy and packed parties, Paha Vaanii arrives with DJ Laura Vartio and DJ Harvest — the duo familiar from Siltanen’s Sunday parties and their love of Finnish music — alongside ROOS+BERG, rooted in Finnish pop aesthetics, and DJ Magic Mannila, who channels a bold party-girl spirit. Friday’s line-up also features producer legends Kalifornia-Keke & DJPP, the Markkinavako DJ collective with its mix of hot party tracks and heartfelt classics, and the duo Madam Bullet & Silly Girl, bringing punk attitude and buzz to the Champagne Bar.
On Saturday, 15 August, Culture CTRL takes over the Lanson Champagne Bar & Lounge with its vibrant, community-driven energy. Bringing together afro-electronic sounds and boundary-pushing club music, the collective’s Saturday program features Joseysradios, a champion of African electronic music and global club culture; DJ Bucktooth T with his bubbling rythms and bass-heavy beats; and ZEZE, whose sound draws from Afro and Carribean rhythms with an irresistible love for bounce.
Also joining the line-up are moimar, known for seamlessly blending garage, jungle and other underground sounds; HOUR FM, a platfrom for celebrating diverse musical voices; Ima, who moves effortlessly between genres; and Smokey, whose sets pulse with the rythms of house music. Together, they invite festival-goers to lose themselves on the dance floor throughout Saturday.
On Sunday, 16 August, club hits and everybody’s secret favourites are served up by Guilty Pleasures. In addition to the concept’s founding duo Hotleevibling & Long Legs, the line-up includes the playful Bonanza Boys, late-night groove specialist Sampo, and Club Geeli diving into turn-of-the-millennium dance music with unapologetic nostalgia. Also joining are the cult-duo DJ Aleksi & DJ Handshaking, genre-hopping selector Marju, electronic dance music custodians Bilar & Leo Sal, and eliXiiri, who creates unexpected moments on the dance floor.
