Glen Hansard live in Helsinki

Experience Glen Hansard live on September 29th

Glen Hansard is scheduled to perform at The House of Culture (Kulttuuritalo) in Helsinki, Finland on September 29, 2026. Hansard is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, and actor, best known for his emotionally resonant vocals and introspective songwriting. His music generally falls within the genres of folk, alternative rock, and indie, often incorporating elements of blues and soul. He gained international recognition as one half of the duo The Frames and for co-writing and starring in the critically acclaimed film *Once*.

Kulttuuritalo opened in 1970 and serves as a significant multi-purpose venue in Helsinki. Originally built by trade unions, it was designed by architect Alvar Aalto – though he died before its completion, with his office finishing the project based on his plans. The building is notable for its modernist architecture and its role as a hub for a variety of cultural events including concerts, theatre performances, congresses and film screenings. It features a main hall with a capacity of approximately 744 people, alongside smaller spaces suitable for different types of gatherings.
