Flow Festival has unveiled a fresh wave of artists for its Front Yard stage, the open-air electronic hub set within the industrial landscape of Suvilahti Power Plant. Taking place August 14–16, 2026, the festival’s 21st edition continues to spotlight both pioneering figures and rising voices shaping global club culture.
At the forefront of the announcement is a highly anticipated back-to-back from Skream and Benga, two foundational architects of South London’s dubstep movement. Their reunion channels the raw low-end energy that defined an era of UK Bass Music while reconnecting a partnership central to the genre’s global rise. Also joining the lineup is Interplanetary Criminal, whose rapid ascent has helped fuel the resurgence of UK Garage on international dancefloors.
The programme further deepens with a special back-to-back from Ben Klock and Fadi Mohem, pairing the Berghain mainstay with one of Berlin’s most compelling new techno voices. They are joined by Patrick Mason, known for his high-impact hybrid sets; Anetha, a leading force in modern techno; and DJ Gigola, whose genre-fluid approach reflects the evolving sound of the city’s underground.
These additions build on an already strong electronic offering led by Honey Dijon, whose sets honor the Black, Queer roots of House Music while bridging Chicago heritage with contemporary techno. Irish producer KETTAMA also returns as a key figure in the lineup, continuing his momentum as one of the defining names behind Europe’s new rave revival.
Flow Festival maintains its commitment to local talent with a wide-ranging selection of Finnish artists. A standout moment arrives with a back-to-back from Orkidea and Lil Tony, two longstanding figures in Finland’s club scene. They are joined by Paula Koski, Saffet, Boy Laundry, and Mr. A, alongside collaborative sets from Ozan b2b Katerina and €TOM b2b C4KE.
Sunday’s Front Yard programming will be curated by Korgy, a Helsinki-based collective known for championing experimental club sounds and emerging artists. Their showcase features performances from 2THEMAX b2b KEMIK b2b CEB, alongside Noei, Sallidoing, and Lara Silva, reflecting the collaborative energy of the city’s nightlife.
Beyond Front Yard, Flow Festival 2026 brings together a wide-reaching lineup including Florence + The Machine, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PinkPantheress, Geese, Zara Larsson, Clipse, Turnstile, Oklou, and Nu Genea Live Band, among others.
Set against the industrial backdrop of Helsinki, Flow Festival continues to position Front Yard as a meeting point for global sounds, underground movements, and the next wave of electronic music culture.
