The Problems band, led by Tumppi Varonen, is known as one of the pioneers of Finnish punk rock. Their debut album was released in 1980 and includes their most famous song, "Katupoikien laulun" (The Street Boys' Song).

The band's lineup has changed over the years, and Varonen is also known for his work with several of Pelle Miljoona’s bands. The current lineup of Problems consists of Tumppi Varonen (vocals), Petri Peevo (guitar, vocals), Heikki Hiekkasalmi (bass, vocals), and Kimmo Kosenius (drums, vocals). In January, Tumppi Varonen & Problems will release a new EP, with the release gig taking place at Louhisali!

The evening will be opened by the long-established rock'n'roll band Honkatonk, known for their energetic performances! In addition to the band's own Finnish-language songs, the setlist includes several rare cover versions of songs by Status Quo, Georgia Satellites, Chuck Berry, The Who, and The Kinks.
