Celebrated and acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest festival experiences, Flow Festival Helsinki has revealed its second wave of names heading to the Finnish capital – bringing together trailblazing favourites, iconic names, boundary-push leaders and those pushing pop culture forward for an eclectic weekend in the heart of Europe’s coolest cities.
After previously unveiling a who’s who of artists all defining their eras and worlds across a variety of genres, Flow welcomes generational icons and essential modern voices for a festival rooted in what’s possible next. One of the 21st century’s most pivotal voices, FKA twigs comes to Flow Festival Helsinki fresh from the release of her acclaimed latest album ‘EUSEXUA’. Continuing to push boundaries and create art that spans not only across music but theatre, performance and more – she sits truly in a field of her own, with her performance at Flow in 2025 bound to be a captivating moment in the festival’s history. Also announced today is Little Simz – who over the course of her career has stood as an artist whose independence and vision has led to some of the most acclaimed records of the past decade. With new album ‘Lotus’ on the horizon, Little Simz sits in a golden period that’s ready to shine bright when she heads to Flow Festival Helsinki this summer.
The iconic French electro group Air head to Finland this summer, for a very special set playing tracks their iconic 1998 debut album ‘Moon Safari’ alongside other cuts from their influential back catalogue, whilst British rave pioneers Underworld bring their uncompromising live show to Flow in 2025, pulling upon a jaw-dropping career that has defined and led the way for an entire era of culture that has gone global. Redefining genre at every turn, Yung Lean & Bladee bring their special collaborative show to Flow this summer blending alt-rap, indie and rock together following the release of their collaborative album ‘Psykos’. Lola Young joins the bill too, with ‘Messy’ standing as THE song of the year so far and launching Lola into the upper echelons of alt-pop supremacy. With Amaarae, Sam Quealy and Snow Strippers also confirmed today – it ensures Flow Festival Helsinki is once again a melting pot of sound and creative vision all pulled together by the artists shaping modern culture in 2025 and beyond.
Not just pulling together names from around the globe, Flow Festival Helsinki continues to prove itself as a showcase of the broad and thrilling sounds coming out of Finland with even more Finnish names announced today. These are lead by the number one artist on Spotify in Finland right now: Turisti alongside the energetic Ege Zulu, the pioneering Finnish electronic pop group Ruusut (who will perform exclusively this summer at Flow) and the intimate pop singer Mirella, who received six Emma Awards at the Finnish music industry gala.
