Flow Festival 2024

Recap

Author: lars

We joined the legendary Flow Festival 2024, arriving on Friday, the 9th of August along with 32,000 others at the sold-out Suvilahti venue to celebrate the festival’s 20th anniversary. The three days were an absolute blast—thanks for having us!

Our festival highlights included Vince Staples, who commanded the stage with his powerful performance, followed by the unstoppable IDLES, who electrified the Silver Arena with their raw punk-rock energy. Fred again.. brought his unique vibe, and the French sensation L’Impératrice took the crowd on a feel-good journey through French space disco, keeping the energy sky-high (with nods to Nile Rodgers and Daft Punk). We were thrilled to see the British pop legend Pulp, and PJ Harvey, the alternative rock icon, did not disappoint. Janelle Monáe, who you might recognize from Glass Onion, delivered an unforgettable set, and James Blake’s intimate, heartfelt performance touched us deeply. The festival closed on a high note under the 360° Balloon with Grande Mahogany, a swirling mix of soulful rhythms, hypnotic psychedelia, and boundless energy.

Founded in 2004, Flow Festival has grown into Finland’s largest music festival. Since 2007, it has been held at the former energy production site in Suvilahti, in the Sörnäinen district. This year, the festival attracted 93,000 people, with numerous stages, lawns, cinemas, exhibition spaces, and top-notch food bars and trucks. Flow Festival is known for its carefully curated and innovative program, which blends popular culture with experimental arts. The festival features a broad music and arts lineup, a thoughtfully designed and decorated venue, and an extensive sustainability program. Flow Festival 2025 will return to Suvilahti, Helsinki, from August 8th to 10th, 2025. Hope we will make it again next summer!

Super Early Bird tickets are available until August 23 here.
