Festival season 2014: Finnish acts on international festivals

The festival season 2014 is on! There’s so many events out there, that we decided to go through all the festival billings and compile all the pop, rock, indie, electronic and metal festivals that have Finnish acts on the schedule. Whether you’re heading to massive festivals like Wacken Open Air or Roskilde, or you’re instead a fan of more intimate and obscure festivals like Seattle’s Substrata or Sweden’s Psykjunta, we’ve got you covered here so you won’t miss your (new) favourite Finnish artist who'll be playing the event.

If you’d instead prefer visiting a Finnish contemporary classical or folk festival this year, take a look at our festival guides here and here.
