Lutakko is a multiple time award winning concert venue in Finland. Located in Jyväskylä, the capital of the Central Finland area, Lutakko has been the place for the Live Music Association of Jyväskylä (Jelmu ry in short in Finnish, and, from here on) to organize shows in since 1990. Jelmu ry was founded on voluntary work which is still the basis for our employee force. Today we have some 80+ voluntary workers, music lovers and rock enthusiasts working to keep the live music scene very much alive.
The venue is located in an old bakery building which was condemned to be torn down when Jelmu ry started organizing shows in Lutakko. After 15 years of uncertainty the City Council of the City of Jyväskylä finally agreed that it was probably best for everybody if the building was handed over to Jelmu ry. An extensive renovation of the building followed during the summer of 2005 after which Lutakko was “re-opened” bigger and better than ever.
Jelmu ry organizes approximately 130 shows annually with the music styles varying from pop through all forms of rock to death metal and from hip hop to funk and reggae. Most of our shows are all ages. The members of Jelmu ry get a discount on the tickets and joining is open for everybody. One can join either via our website or on a concert night at the ticket sale stand.
Besides the concert venue in the second floor, the bakery building hosts rehearsal places for bands, the office for Youth Against Drugs association, working spaces for artists, and homes for various hobby groups.
