Five hit song legends embark on a joint tour โ€“ IL: One name raises questions

A joint tour featuring five Finnish pop legends has sparked curiosity online, particularly regarding the inclusion of Anja Niskanen.

Recently, it was announced that five stars from the Finnish schlager music scene would unite for a tour named 'Five Stars.' The lineup includes notable names such as Marion Rung, Meiju Suvas, Virve Rosti, Ami Aspelund, and Anja Niskanen. However, the choice of Niskanen has raised eyebrows on social media, as many people have forgotten her after a significant period away from the limelight.

Anja Niskanen expressed her surprise and happiness at being invited to join the tour, sharing that she has not performed her hit song for years due to a lack of opportunities. Niskanen gained fame in 1984 when she won the competition show 'Syksyn sรคvel' with her song 'Ollaan hiljaa vain' when she was just 16 years old, and she made a return to the public eye in 2021 by participating in the same program again.

In her remarks to Iltalehti, Niskanen addressed her skeptics, suggesting that curiosity drives audiences and expressing hope that people will come to see her perform and witness what she is doing today. Her message reflects an eagerness to reestablish her presence in the music scene as she prepares for the tour, where she aims to connect with both old and new fans alike.
