finnish festivals

[Eos]

Seems that the dates for my trip are getting clearer...
Are there some nice festivals from July 27th and August 10th somewhere in southern Finland?
Thanks

I gotta check those dates. All the big ones - the ones I usually go to - are by-gones at the end of july. There should be something, tho. I guess.

i know Maiden comes to Helsinki in summer, dunno what date exactly

I've heard of that Tuska thing... Is it good?

 

[Crack Hitler]

I guess. Never been there tho, 'cause it's been held at the same time as my favourite festival, Ilosaarirock... Stone can rate that Tuska better, eh?

 

[ouagadougou]

i'd prolly choose Tuska if i was you.. it usually has some damn good bands and it's held in Helsinki..

But it's too late, if eos is comin at the end of july, eh.

 

[ouagadougou]

yeah.. but it was held at that time last year.. there's a change it's earlier this year.. maybe..

[edit] shit i feel stupid i accidentally read that Tuska was held at august.. instead of july.. oops.. my bad.. ignore all the previous stuff i posted..

I have the dates now and it seemes that I'm gonna be in Lahti from 3rd till 11th August. I emailed with Entwine if they are around then but they can't say yet if there will be some concerts outside Finland for them. I also looked at all the festivals outside of Finland and it seems that there is nothing from Wacken (2nd August) till Summer Breeze (21st August).
Did I miss something?
Thank you very much for the help!!!
