The Roots, Múm, Caspa & Rusko, Robert Hood, and Senor Coconut are just a few of the artists confirmed for the diverse Flow Festival, set to take place August 15-17 in Helsinki, Finland’s Suvilahti. Now in its fifth year, the event is organized by the Nuspirit Helsinki collective, who have expanded the show to an area three times larger as the previous year and added a fourth stage.
Flow showcases music from jazz to soul, indie to electro, techno to dubstep, electronic and freak folk. Headliners for this year’s event include Philadelphia’s The Roots, U.K. singer Jamie Lidell, French pop sensation Sébastien Tellier, and Canada’s indie darlings Crystal Castles. Get Physical and Sonar Kollektiv label showcases, as well as Chicago’s DJ Funk, will wow fans of electronic music.
