Campus as a Stage After Work: opening of the academic year feat. the Professor band

At the After Work event related to the opening of the University of Oulu semester, the Professor band will start the new academic year in style and rock 'n' roll. The event will be held on the Linnanmaa campus at Pihlajapiha (with weather permitting: in case of rain, the event will be held indoors). The event is open and does not include an admission fee.

Psst! If you want to start the evening earlier, arrive to Pihlajapiha already at 17:00 to watch performance of Teekkaritorvet before diving into the world of rock.

In 2026, the University of Oulu will organize a year-long Campus as a Stage event series, the purpose of which is to showcase the broad cultural expertise of our university community and bring culture to the everyday life of our campuses and to a wider audience. The series includes culture lunches, culture lectures, After Work events, various exhibitions and community art works, and art tours of the university's art collections.
