It's all over now... until next year!

No can do, this year's Ilosaarirock Festival is over. But what a festival it was! A marvellous weekend full of fantastic shows and fantastic people, and our special thanks for all this happiness goes to you, our dear festival guests. The weekend comes alive again under the Festival Life heading, where you can read stories of some of the highlights of the festival and remember again and again what a great time we all had – until next year, which happens to be the 40th anniversary of Ilosaarirock Festival. The fun is on again between 15th and 17th July, 2011. See you there!
