Nosturi (Finnish for "crane") was a culture and music hall and a nightclub in the Punavuori district of Helsinki, Finland.
It was owned by the Association of Live Music (Elävän musiikin yhdistys, ELMU).
Over the years, many bands played there, most notably HIM, sukekiyo, Children of Bodom, Lordi, Laibach, Bloodhound Gang, CKY, Iconcrash, Anthrax, Motörhead, Papa Roach, DragonForce, Ensiferum, Jenni Vartiainen, Hanoi Rocks and Turisas.
[2] According to the plans at the time, ELMU was to get new premises in a protected old machinery hall nearby.
According to the culture services chief of Helsinki Stuba Nikula, it is pretty clear that new premises wouldn't be found until Nosturi was dismantled.
