Finnish rock band The Rasmus has become the first international artist announced in the lineup for Kyiv’s Atlas Festival 2025. Known for their hits In the Shadows and Livin’ in a World Without You, the band is returning to Ukraine with a new performance after a seven-year break.
The announcement appeared on the official Atlas Festival 2025 website.
Organizers confirmed that The Rasmus will be the first foreign headliner of this year’s event. Their performance will take place in Kyiv during the summer, with the exact date to be announced later.
Other confirmed acts include Ukrainian performers Max Barskih, Boombox, and Okean Elzy.
The Rasmus is one of Finland’s most successful bands, gaining global recognition with their 2003 album Dead Letters and the single In the Shadows, which topped charts in over ten countries. Over their career, they have released seven studio albums, sold more than 3.5 million records, and earned numerous gold and platinum awards.
The band has previously performed in Ukraine four times — in 2006, 2012, 2013, and 2018.
