THE RASMUS To Play Charity Gig in Ukraine At Atlas Festival

One of Finland's most internationally known bands, The Rasmus, will play a charity gig in Ukraine this summer on July 19th as the headliner of the Atlas Festival, as the only foreign artist at the event.

The band wants to do their part to help Ukraine.

"It's scary to play in the middle of war, but we want to show our support for the Ukrainian people. We have a massive fan base in Ukraine and we've also previously done a joint song with the Ukrainian Eurovision winner Kalush Orchestra" - frontman Lauri Ylönen.

Over 60,000 people are expected to arrive at the festival. The festival has a comprehensive security system and the event is prepared to evacuate the audience and performers in just a few minutes if necessary.

Last year, the festival raised over two million euros for charity. The artists can choose to direct their charitable funds to any Ukraine-related cause, such as supporting children's hospitals, purchasing ambulances, or helping combat medical personnel.

The Rasmus recently released the electrifying new single “Creatures of Chaos” released via Better Noise Music and Playground Music. With their signature blend of dark atmospheres and anthemic melodies, the band once again proves why they remain a force to be reckoned with in the rock world. In their native Finland, where they are the reigning #1 rock band, The Rasmus stands at #1 on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram and Deezer as far as followers, views, likes and streams.

The video for “Creatures of Chaos” can be seen on the band’s official YouTube page below.

The Rasmus is currently on tour in the United States.
