Helsinki’s Flow Festival announces Front Yard electronic programme

Flow Festival has revealed a new wave of artists set to perform at Front Yard, the festival’s open-air electronic music stage located within the industrial surroundings of Suvilahti Power Plant.

Taking place August 14-16 August, 2026, the festival’s 21st edition will once again bring together leading voices in contemporary club culture alongside the next generation of underground talent. The newly announced artists underline Flow’s longstanding commitment to electronic music, and to the diverse global scenes shaping dancefloors today.

International innovators in club music

The Front Yard programme will host a back-to-back from dubstep pioneers Skream b2b Benga, bringing together two of the architects of the genre’s South London roots. Their set revisits the raw energy and low-end pressure that helped shape UK bass music’s global influence, while reconnecting two artists whose collaborations defined a formative era of the sound. Also revealed is Interplanetary Criminal, whose stratospheric rise has played an intrinsic role in the resurgence of UK garage and bass music across the global club circuit.

Further additions include a special back-to-back set from Ben Klock b2b Fadi Mohem, uniting the Berghain resident with one of Berlin’s most promising new techno artists; Patrick Mason, known for his explosive hybrid DJ sets and commanding stage presence; French techno innovator Anetha; and DJ Gigola, whose genre-spanning sets have become a defining part of Berlin’s new underground scene.

These acts join hallowed names leading the programme including Honey Dijon, whose sets celebrate the Black, queer roots of house music while bridging Chicago classics with modern techno intensity. Previously announced Irish producer KETTAMA, one of the fastest-rising names in modern techno, also heads up the expanded electronic programme - known for his euphoric, high-energy productions and powerful club sets, KETTAMA has become a defining voice of the new European rave revival.

Finnish artists and collaborations

Flow Festival continues its long tradition of showcasing the breadth of Finland’s electronic music community. Among the local highlights is a special back-to-back from trance pioneer Orkidea and Helsinki DJ Lil Tony, two key figures in the country’s club culture.

They are joined by Paula Koski, Saffet, Boy Laundry, and Mr. A, alongside collaborative sets from Ozan b2b Katerina and €TOM b2b C4KE, reflecting the diversity of the contemporary Finnish underground.

Korgy collective hosts Sunday at Front Yard

Sunday at Front Yard will be curated by Korgy, a Helsinki-based club collective known for championing emerging electronic artists and experimental club sounds. The collective will present a series of performances including 2THEMAX b2b KEMIK b2b CEB, Noei, Sallidoing, and Lara Silva, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the city’s nightlife community.

A meeting place for scenes and cultures

The newly announced artists join an already expansive lineup for Flow Festival 2026 including Florence + The Machine, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PinkPantheress, Geese, Zara Larsson, Clipse, Turnstile, Oklou, Nu Genea Live Band, and many more.
