Topmost is one of the most significant bands in the history of Finnish pop music. It has been 60 years since the band was founded. This is a truly unique lineup in both Finnish and global terms, as the band still performs in almost its original formation. Four of the six founding members are still part of the group.

Topmost was the most popular band in Finland in 1966 and 1967. It was also very well known across the Nordic countries. “Nothing this fantastic has been heard since the Beatles,” raved Expressen newspaper in 1966. Topmost’s anniversary year 2024 was unforgettable. Venues were filled admirably, and the atmosphere at the band’s concerts has since been ecstatic.

Gugi Kokljuschkin, one of Topmost’s founding members and one of the band’s two lead vocalists, passed away in March 2025 due to a rapidly progressing illness. Despite the great sorrow and loss, Topmost has decided to continue performing with a slightly updated lineup. Four original members still play in the band: Harri Saksala, Kisu Jernström, Holle Holopainen, and Eero Lupari. On keyboards, you’ll see Mikko Rintanen, a keyboardist, guitarist, and singer known from bands such as Remu and Wigwam.

Changes are possible.
