Last weekend, we headed to the world’s second most northerly capital city for three days of fantastic live music. Held in an old power plant near central Helsinki, Finland, Flow Festival has boasted some of Europe’s best line-ups since its inception in 2004. This year was no different. Main Stage headliners FKA Twigs, Sia and Massive Attack were joined by Iggy Pop, Last Shadow Puppets, Stormzy and plenty more. Here are eight of the best snaps from the festival.
Iggy Pop got down and dirty with the Finnish crowd during his cover of Johnny O’Keefe & The Dee Jays’ ‘Real Wild Child’. Nice to meet you too Iggy…
Bristol trip-hoppers Massive Attack made good use of the fading light to air some rather political videos during their Friday night set. Mercury Prize-winners Young Fathers added soulful exuberance for a few numbers.
Morrissey played arguably the show of the festival on Saturday night in the Lapin Kulta Red Arena. He opened with fan-favourite ‘Suedehead’ before zipping through a hit-filled set that included ‘Everyday Is Like Sunday’, ‘Irish Blood, English Heart’ and Smiths classic ‘Meat Is Murder’.
