In what will be three years since its last show, Flow Festival returns to Helsinki on the 12th – 14th of August 2022 – bringing together an eclectic and rich programme of world-renowned musical icons, some of the biggest modern artists of this age, exciting new international talent and emerging Finnish creatives.
Summoning some of the most influential artists in the world, GORILLAZ will head to Flow Festival Helsinki in 2022 – with the Damon Albarn/Jamie Hewlett global phenomenon bringing their incredible live show to Helsinki for what will be one of the biggest productions that Flow Festival has ever seen. Another legendary treat for Flow’s audience will be NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS and their magically melancholic world as the band returns to the stages after four years.
With the first 2022-announcement we want to set our eyes towards the life after covid-19. And the warm and cheerful gatherings. Even though we might still be facing challenges with the international tours, we have been able to curate a high-class versatile programme for our audience. Flow is back!
