Situated next to the Main Tent is the oasis for weary festival folk, Ilosaari Lounge. The cozy, stylish tent provides nourishment for both body and mind.
The lounge offers entertainment such as live interviews with the artists, film screenings and stand-up. You can also take a rest from the blazing sunshine in the comfy seats and enjoy a cup of coffee or a tasty sandwich. The Main Tent gigs and the most important games of the FIFA World Cup will be screened at Ilosaari Lounge as well.
During Sulo Club the Lounge will serve as a second stage. In the tent you can hear acoustic performances and enjoy stand-up gigs. Local talents Sonik, Kalle Kaasinen, and Sermon on the Mountain will be performing at the Ilosaari Lounge on Friday.
The documentary film club Doc Lounge will also come to the Ilosaari Lounge, and provide two documentaries: Suomibreikkiä (story of Finnish breakdance) and Pixadores by Amir Escandari.
When you need a break from the partying, head to Ilosaari Lounge! The Lounge is organized by University of Eastern Finland and Karelia University of Applied Sciences, together with Ilosaarirock Festival.
