Summer concert to feature Finnish hits and a summery atmosphere
“DNA’s entertaining summer concert has drawn a full crowd to Raatihuoneenpuisto, Pori for the last four years and our popular concert is coming again this summer. The sweltering atmosphere of last year’s concert was enjoyed by as many as 7,500 spectators on the spot. It is excellent that MTV will also broadcast the summer concert for all television viewers in prime time on Saturday night, right after the event”, says Vilhelmiina Wahlbeck, Vice President of DNA’s Corporate Communications.
“It is fantastic that the DNA summer concert is once again taking over SuomiAreena. Year after year, the concert has attracted a staggering number of fans of SuomiAreena and good music to the Purje stage”, says Mari Haavisto, Executive Producer of SuomiAreena and Chief Content Officer of Mediahub.
The DNA summer concert will be held on the SuomiAreena Purje stage in Raatihuoneenpuisto, Pori on Wednesday, 17 July at 7 pm. The concert will feature the Finnish top artists Maija Vilkkumaa, Michael Monroe and Vilma Alina.

DNA Oyj:n huhti–kesäkuun 2026 liiketoimintakatsaus: Tasainen kehitys jatkui kireässä markkinatilanteessa16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kireään kilpailutilanteeseen nähden kuluvan vuoden toinen neljännes oli DNA:lle taloudellisesti varsin hyvä. Huhti–kesäkuussa liikevaihto pysyi liki samalla tasolla vuodentakaiseen ajanjaksoon verrattuna. Käyttökate kasvoi, erityisesti kun vertailussa huomioidaan DNA:n IoT-liiketoiminnan siirto toiseen Telenorin konserniyhtiöön kuluvan vuoden alussa. Kiinteiden laajakaistaliittymien ja matkaviestinverkon liittymien määrät kasvoivat, mutta niiden keskilaskutus hieman laski.
DNA Plc’s Business Review for April–June 2026: Steady development continued in a highly competitive market environment16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
Considering the intense competitive landscape, the second quarter of the current year was financially quite strong for DNA. During April–June, revenue remained nearly at the same level as in the corresponding period last year. EBITDA increased, particularly when taking into account the transfer of DNA’s IoT business to another Telenor Group company at the beginning of the year. The number of fixed broadband and mobile network subscriptions increased, while their average revenue per user declined slightly.
Etätyöt ja suoratoisto seuraavat myös mökille – näin korjaat takkuilevan mökkinetin14.7.2026 14:28:47 EEST | Tiedote
Mökkikausi on monelle myös etätyö-, suoratoisto- ja yhteydenpitokautta, jolloin toimivan nettiyhteyden merkitys korostuu. DNA:n tuoreen Digitaalinen elämä -tutkimuksen mukaan 21 % suomalaisista on kohdannut haasteita nettiyhteytensä kanssa. Vaikka ongelmia esiintyy yleisimmin kodin internetyhteyksissä, myös mökeillä yhteyden hitaus tai toimimattomuus aiheuttaa päänvaivaa osalle käyttäjistä. Moni ongelmista ratkeaa kuitenkin jo yksinkertaisilla toimenpiteillä, joista helpoin on modeemin uudelleenkäynnistys.

According to DNA’s latest Digital Life survey, 21% of Finns have encountered challenges with their internet connection. Although problems occur most commonly with home internet connections, slow or non-functioning connections at summer cottages also cause headaches for some users. However, many of these problems can be solved with simple measures, the easiest of which is restarting the modem.
