Realised at Flow Festival since 2017, Resident Advisor Front Yard is the place to be for every club music lover – a place where the party continues non-stop from the moment the gates open well into the night. This year at RA Front Yard, visitors can enjoy a diverse repertoire of superstar DJs and emerging talents. Eris Drew and Octo Octa, whose bounday-breaking vision has become a leading light in bringing equality and visibility to the dance music world, wil bring a special B2B performance to the heart of Helsinki in a club culture moment that can’t be replicated anywhere else. Additionally, house music legend Kerri Chandler, French DJ and producer Folamour, and Jyoty, who plays sold-out club gigs all over Europe, will all bring the party to Front Yard this August.

Front Yard will also feature one of the most exciting acts of its generation for a moment that can’t be missed in Sansibar, whilst  Parisian-born DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Chloé Caillet, and one of Europe’s techno greats with a career of over thirty years – Speedy J – will touch down across the weekend. On stage will also be an underground Berlin favourite in Nene H, the ever-undeniable Chaos in the CBD and the Finnish legend Jori Hulkkonen celebrating the 30th anniversary of his first release with a special live homecoming set at Finland’s biggest festival of the year.

On the Front Yard stage, fans eager to discover the very best in cutting-edge new electronica will catch Dutch Amapiano pioneer WaxFiend, the new Finnish synthpop duo Modem, and Knife Girl – the indiepop phenomenon breaking genre boundaries.
