Flow Festival 2023

Flow Festival returns to Helsinki on the 11th - 13th of August 2023 - bringing together an eclectic and rich program of world-renowned musical icons, some of the biggest modern artists of this age, exciting new international talent, and emerging Finnish creatives.

Flow Festival announces the celebrated Helsinki festival's more anticipated international and domestic acts. Arriving to perform in Finland for the first time, Afropop superstar Wizkid brings his energetic show to Flow. The legendary Britpop phenomenon Blur will also return to stages and make a highly awaited appearance at Flow. 

Singer, songwriter, and producer Caroline Polachek also joins the Flow lineup. Polachek is at the forefront of setting new trends for pop music and has written songs for top artists such as Beyoncé and Travis Scott. Additionally, the Flow crowd gets to experience a rare farewell performance by a true cult icon as the pioneer of art rock and new wave, DEVO, brings one of its very last concerts ever to the festival. In addition, one of the greats of the 90s Britpop revolution, rising back to the top of the charts with their 2022 album Autofiction, Suede, arrives to Flow.

A groundbreaking hip-hop artist, 070 Shake, who uniquely combines rap, poetry, soul, electronic music, and indie, is also announced for Flow 2023. Adding to the mix is the irresistible London rapper Shygirl, whose music naturally embodies both club credibility and profound philosophical artistry.
