Hardly any other European rock band has achieved as many milestones as The Rasmus. Over several decades, the Finns have continued to develop their sound and have shaped an entire genre. The Rasmus was formed in the mid-1990s as a school band in Helsinki. Frontman Lauri Ylönen founded the band together with bassist Eero Heinonen, guitarist Pauli Rantasalmi and drummer Jarno Lahti.
After a few line-up changes, they quickly attracted attention in their home country with their independent style. Since the funk-inspired beginnings on their debut album "Peep" (1996), they have constantly developed their style, and today they are known for their atmospheric, almost anthemic rock. Their international breakthrough finally came in 2003 with "Dead Letters" and the accompanying single "In The Shadows". This was followed by millions of records sold, various platinum awards and music prizes as well as international tours. And even after that, the band kept on moving, continuously releasing music and repositioning themselves time and again.
With their latest album "Weirdo" (2025), The Rasmus are now starting a new chapter. The lyrics deal with themes that run like a red thread through their career: Identity, being an outsider and the feeling of not belonging. Musically, they combine dark atmospheres, catchy rock refrains and modern sounds to create their unmistakable, unique blend. What has always made the band special is their presence on stage; all their shows are characterized by dynamism, energy and a palpable closeness to the audience.
Whether on large festival stages, on international tours or most recently at special appearances such as the charity concert at the Atlas Festival in Ukraine: The Rasmus understand the art of bringing people together. At the beginning of 2027, audiences will finally have the opportunity to experience this intensity live again at five exclusive shows in Germany!
