Sleaford Mods this October in Finland

English electro-punk duo SLEAFORD MODS will arrive to Finland this October as a part of their new tour Europe 2026 (part 2). The concert will take place on Wednesday  October 28th in Helsinki at Kulttuuritalo.

SLEAFORD MODS was formed in 2007 in Nottingham. The band features vocalist Jason Williamson and, since 2012, instrumentalist Andrew Fearn. They are known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and embittered explorations of austerity-era Britain, culture, and working class life, delivered in Williamson‘s East Midlands accent. The duo have released several albums to critical praise. Their latest album «The Demise of Planet X» was released this January via Rough Trade.

SLEAFORD MODS have described their work as «electronic munt minimalist punk-hop rants for the working class». Williamson is responsible for the words, Fearn for the music. Their songs have been described as embittered rants about such topics as unemployment, modern working life, celebrities and pop culture, capitalism and society in general. The lyrics usually contain profanity, which is, according to Williamson, the way in which he speaks and «not just fucking swearing». Fearn‘s music has been described as «purgatorial loop[s]» of «pugilistic post-punk-style bass; functional but unprepossessing beats; occasional cheap keyboard riffs and listless wafts of guitar

The opening act for the evening will be Finnish rock band KISSA.
