Flow Festival returned to Helsinki’s historic Suvilahti power plant this month, transforming the industrial landmark into a weekend-long celebration of boundary-pushing music.

Once again, this year’s edition of Flow Festival delivered a line-up as ambitious as its setting – a mix of global stars, homegrown heroes, and rising voices across hip-hop, post-punk, pop, and electronic music.

On Friday, FKA Twigs captivated the crowd with her theatrical Eusexua live show, alongside sets from Autechre, Sudan Archives, Joy Orbison, Avalon Emerson and Verraco.

Saturday’s bill was equally stacked, with headline shows from Little Simz and Burna Boy. Beth Gibbons, Yung Lean & Bladee, Aurora Halal and CC:DISCO! all delivered standout sets, before the night culminated in powerful performances from the likes of Underworld, Batu, and Kneecap.

The final day welcomed Fontaines D.C. and Khruangbin to the stage, while Charli xcx performed her famed Brat live set to close out the festival.
