Popeda is a renowned Finnish rock band whose roots stretch back to the city of Tampere, where they formed in 1977. Initially influenced by the raw energy of punk and the rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll, Popeda quickly carved out a place for themselves in the Finnish music scene with their boisterous sound and unabashedly straightforward lyrics. The name 'Popeda' itself, an intentionally mispronounced form of the English word "popeda" meaning "top hat," encapsulates the band's playful yet rebellious persona.

Over the years, Popeda has become a staple in Finnish rock, amassing a loyal following thanks to their energetic live performances and relatable, catchy tunes. Despite lineup changes and the evolving music landscape, the band has maintained their distinct sound and attitude. Their recent releases, including "Shal-la-la," "Haista Popeda!," "Just!" and "Pohjantähden alla," reaffirm Popeda's commitment to delivering spirited rock anthems while adapting to the modern era. With a career spanning over four decades, Popeda stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic rock in Finland and continues to rock the stages, much to the delight of generations of fans.
