Square Named after Lordi
They are the first artists ever to bring the ESC trophy back to Finland. Lordi are making headline news all over Europe and are the talk of many TV panels. Naturally, their homeland received them with grand celebrations. But apart from a trophy, Lordi will now also have their own square. Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland, will no longer only be known as Santa Claus’ town, but also as Lordi’s town, since the city intends to name a square after them! Tomi Putaansuu, better known as Mr Lordi, was born and raised in this city of 66,000 people. However, apart from their own square, Lordi will enjoy a welcoming ceremony similar to the ones staged for Finnish athletes who excel in the Olympics or other international sports events.
