Nope

North Ostrobothnia, Oulu

Nope are pioneers of contemporary folk music from Oulu and are renowned for their energetic performances and catchy melodies. The band captivates from the very first moment!

The quartet performs both their own compositions and re-arranged Finnish folk music gems. The band consists of professional musicians.

Nope both energises and moves the audience
– they are at once down-to-earth and artistic.

Nope works closely with folk dance groups in Northern Ostrobothnia. The band also takes contemporary folk music from Oulu to schools, workplaces and various events. In particular, the communal ‘huutokatrilli’, which was inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2026, forms part of Nope’s repertoire.
