Jukka Koskinen

[Moondance]

As of today, Jukka Koskinen has become an official member and the permanent bassist of Nightwish. He is known for being in Wintersun, alongside Kai Hahto notably. We should expect that he will be play a huge role in the upcoming new Nightwish album's recording next year.

Other than that, a huge welcome to Jukka Koskinen to the Nightwish family! I met him back in May this year, and I had a great feeling about him being in the band.

Thanks! I guess by now it was probably a matter of 'when' but I'm glad that Jukka and the band think that they fit well together. 🤘

Now I'm probably reading too much into things, but is there any sort of relation between Marko's latest interview, which was his first in-depth interview in a year, and this announcement? Like in, 'this guy is not interested or ready to return to Nightwish, maybe we should move on and make Jukka's position official?'
