The day was dominated by Eppu Normaali's farewell concert at Tampere's Ratinan Stadion, marking the end of the band's 50-year career. From early afternoon, multiple outlets provided live coverage of the packed event, with President Stubb and NHL star Aleksander Barkov among the attendees. The concert began in the early evening, with frontman Martti Syrjä describing the moment as 'like euthanasia.' The set mixed acoustic and stadium rock, culminating in an emotional finale with fireworks and the words 'Jääkää hyvästi' (farewell). Earlier in the day, President NiinistÜ's call for Europe to develop hybrid warfare capabilities drew attention, as did a drone explosion in Bulgaria near a gas pipeline. MV-lehti continued to push narratives about NATO false flag risks and Finnish foreknowledge of a Ukrainian drone strike on St. Petersburg. Other stories included a police shooting incident in Helsinki's Käpylä district and a tourist bus accident in Norway, but none displaced the concert as the lead editorial priority.
