In 2013 some lucky guy managed to get First Aid Kit to play at his birthday party in a restaurant in Helsinki!

The story goes that Klara and Johanna were at a loose end after they’d finished recording their album Stay Gold. They happened to fancy spending a weekend in Helsinki with their boyfriends and this guy was prepared to pay the fee their agents were asking (the money apparently helped pay for a proper tour bus). No doubt it was worth every penny!

 

In 2016 Klara and Johanna also played at this wedding, where they performed a cover of ‘Thinking Out Loud’ by Ed Sheeran. Not sure how this was pulled off!

If you’re thinking of inviting them to play at your own party – well, you can try your luck – but bear in mind that on their next visit to Helsinki, they’ll be playing an 8,000+ capacity venue!
