Joulugaala Rovaniemi 2026

Lapland’s biggest pre-Christmas party returns to Rovaniemi. Joulugaala, which has become the North’s biggest pre-Christmas event, returns to Rovaniemi on Friday, 11 December and Saturday, 12 December. The programme is built around two different themes on the two nights. On Friday, Lappi Areena will be taken over by a celebration of ’90s dance pop, featuring eurodance legend Captain Jack, Danish act Daze, Swedish eurodance star Pandora, and Finnish favourites Movetron and Waldo’s People. On Saturday, an evening filled with pop and party music will be headlined by Haloo Helsinki!, one of the brightest names in Finnish music. Also taking the stage are breakthrough act of the new generation KAUKUA, enduring disco-pop star Meiju Suvas, energetic Pulse, and northern party-culture veteran DJ Aleksenteri K. The event is accessible, as is the VIP area. A “Customer + assistant” ticket type is available for customers who need an assistant. Meals for VIP customers’ assistants are charged separately and must be booked by email at info@eventmedia.fi one week before the event.
