Flow Festival
Flow Festival, the truly urban boutique city festival has been organised in Helsinki annually since 2004. Flow Festival was born out of the founders’ passion for culture. Feeling that Finland and Helsinki, in particular, were lacking a high-quality alternative music festival. Since its inception, Flow Festival has grown from a small club event to the trailblazing European music and arts festival it is today.
2024 Lineup Details
On Friday, August 9, Flow will host the London singer-songwriter Raye, who has taken the music world by storm with her hits combining R&B and neo-soul. Selling out London’s O2 Arena recently in mere hours, her debut album, My 21st Century Blues from 2023, rose to #2 on the British album chart. Globally, her music has been streamed well over 5 billion times. Additionally, punk rock’s finest, Idles, who released their acclaimed fifth album last year and the American alternative great, Blonde Redhead, will take the stage on Flow Friday.
On Saturday, August 10, singer-songwriter Miriam Bryant, one of Sweden’s most successful artists of recent years, will grace the stage at Flow. Further, on Sunday, August 11, performing at the festival are French sensation L’Impératrice, combining pop, nu-disco, soul and electro irresistibly and Canadian indie favourite Alvvays, charming with their unique sound.
Flow always showcases the best of Finnish talent. Returning to the festival this year is R&B artist Karri Koira, who electrified Flow’s Silver Arena with his previous performance. Presenting his never-before-seen special live show is the gem of Finnish Afrotrap Ege Zulu & Orchestre, and bringing her star-quality energy to Flow is renowned artist, queer icon, social influencer and trailblazer Yeboyah.
Other domestic additions to Flow’s program include beloved singer-songwriter Vesta, one of the most exciting and versatile current artists, Jesse Markin, and Jambo, mixing electronic sounds, body-moving R&B, and rap.
