What to expect

  • Florence + The Machine, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Turnstile, Zara Larsson and more
  • Striking industrial setting in a former power plant near Helsinki centre
  • Curated food, design and visual-art programme alongside the music

Planning tips

  • Easy weekend from Tallinn — a 2-hour ferry then a short tram/metro to Suvilahti
  • Buy day or 3-day tickets in advance; it regularly sells out
  • Bring layers and rain gear — August evenings get cool

Build a day around it

Tallinn event days feel best when they stay simple: one event block, one food anchor, and one walk — with buffer so nothing feels rushed.

  • If you have 2–3 hours: arrive early → event → short Old Town / viewpoint loop.
  • If you're making a full day: one museum/neighborhood block + event + a calm evening plan.
  • If the weather turns: keep walking minimal and use cafes/museums as your buffer.

Before you go

  • Confirm the details: check the official link for last-minute schedule or venue updates.
  • Arrive with buffer: 15-30 minutes early usually makes the whole experience calmer.
  • Have a weather plan: keep one indoor warm stop in mind in case the day turns.
