Dingo

Finnish rock band formed in 1982. It is considered one of the most popular Finnish rock bands. Dingo first broke up in 1986, but has made three comebacks since. The first comeback was in 1993, but lasted only a year. The second time the band came back with the most successful and known lineup in 1998, but because of the inability to make a new album, some members left the band and Dingo was disbanded again in January 2002. The third comeback came less than a year later, in December 2002 when the band performed in Tallinn with a new line-up.
